Out of curiosity- how can you tell she's an albino and not a dark eyed white until her eyes open?

My guess would be you can't see the eye at all. Notice how you can see a dark spot that will be their eyes on them? Maybe the ablino doesn't show up under the skin.

That's exactly right! The dark eyes show straight through and with the albino there is no eye colour what so ever, I will try and get a photo to show the difference tomorrow

Hi its uncommon for a bino to pop up in a litter if dad is a true dew and mom is a true poley as both carry the dominant gene of the eye colouration for poley the only time I have known it happen is if both parents carry the recessive gene of the albino in there background then you get splits happening in a litter good luck with your babies take care bye for now Bev

I can't wait until their coats start coming in and they begin opening their eyes! I'd love to see how the little bino turns out. I bet she'd be gorgeous!

so tank is not a true dew if his mum was a true bino ! he is a dew from a split litter ( if tanks dad was a dew ) tank got 50% from mum ( recessive gene ) and recessive and dominant gene from his dad ( who must be also carrying recessive/dominant to be a dew ) so tank himself is a split hence the albino that's popped up in this litter who is a throw back to the father , grandfather and grandmother ! take care bye for now Bev

That's exactly right Yeah I am also very excited to see what these bubbas look like ^ _^ Their colours should be very obvious is just under a week! I think they will all be dews because colour ia usually already showing through and they are still all white.

you may find some of your dews have traces of silver guard hairs as they develop there colour as mum was a poley so they may carry her coat colouration too but that wont show for some weeks yet as it takes time for the guard hairs to come in take care bye for now bev

crazy ferret lady I am sorry if you feel I am pointing out things you know the reason I am replying is simply there are lots of members who are interested in kits and how they develop I am simply pointing out that what appears to be white when born does not always remain that way and colouration can change due to the genetic make up of the parents I am sorry if once again you feel I have offended you I shall refrain for commenting on your posts in future and leave you to give full explanation of how genetics influence the development of your kits after all I only judge ferrets all over the world what do I know ! take care bye for now Bev

Sarcasm isn't required.
Everything I write on here you are either correcting or explaining back to me so I feel as though maybe you think I'm not a good owner or know what I am doing?

Please remember that this is an instructional forum. Any information that is given isn't necessarily for your use but for the use of the membership who may not know this information. You may or may not already know all the information provided but at least allow others to read and absorb the information given. With the interest that has been stirred up on the direct links between the health issues that we're are seeing in North American ferrets being linked to colour and the use of dilution to create colours people want to know what the link is between colours and how those colours came about. We've got too many health issues here to just take ferret colours on face value. So, ladies keep your claws sheathed and please allow the free flow of information offered. ciao
