Blind Mameyer Ferret, is a type of multicolored pet ferret. Its body is mostly white, although some individuals may have yellow or other colors. Unlike regular Mameyer Ferrets, this ferret has a gradient color pattern, which is quite eye-catching. However,
Blind Mameyer Ferret is a very rare type of ferret and is rarely seen on the market, so many people are not aware of its existence.
Blind Mameyer Ferret has a moderate body size, and its overall color includes yellow, white, gray-brown, and black. It is quite complex. In addition, the hair at the end of its body is brown or black, and the cheeks are brown, but there are also some white or black patches. Overall, its body color is gradient, which is very characteristic. In addition, the limbs of the Blind Mameyer Ferret are black and the paws are well developed.
Blind Mameyer Ferret has a domestication history of more than two thousand years. It was initially domesticated by farmers for the purpose of catching mice and hunting. Due to its fierce carnivorous nature, ferrets have been domesticated for a long time.
Blind Mameyer Ferret is very affectionate and has no aggression at all. If you give it some training, it will defecate in designated places and obediently listen to you. Its tolerance is average. After bathing, you don't need to quickly blow-dry its fur. Just use a dry towel to dry its body and it will dry itself in a while. Moreover, the Blind Mameyer Ferret has a very gentle personality. It likes to follow its owner and can get along happily with other animals. It is truly an excellent and versatile ferret breed.
1. The common cause of bald pet ferrets is the benign or malignant tumor of the accessory kidney, which leads to hyperfunction of the cortex (also known as Cushing's syndrome). Due to the obvious lesions and symptoms, a detailed examination of the accessory kidney function may not be necessary for diagnosis based on symptoms. This condition can occur in pet ferrets aged one to six or seven, with an average age of onset of three and a half years, and 70% of cases occur in female pet ferrets. The bald lesion often starts from the tail and spreads to the whole body, leaving only the head and four limbs covered with fur. In addition, the external genitalia of neutered female ferrets may swell and have sticky secretions, leading the owner to think it is a symptom of estrus. General symptoms include increased itching, polydipsia, polyuria, anemia, weight loss, and weakness in the hindquarters. Surgical removal of the affected accessory kidney is the treatment option.
2. If a pet ferret has myocardial lesions, it means it is getting old. The myocardium becomes weak and unable to pump enough blood out of the heart due to aging, but in order to push the blood out, the heart works hard and becomes round like a balloon, which leads to blood backflow into the heart. The backflow of blood in heart blood vessels causes fluid to accumulate in the lungs, around the lungs, or in the abdominal cavity, resulting in coughing. Myocardial lesions may be related to genetic genes or a deficiency of aminoethyl sulfonic acid, so the diet of ferrets must contain a sufficient amount of aminoethyl sulfonic acid. Generally, myocardial lesions are diseases that can only be controlled by medication and cannot be cured.
3. Regional enteritis in pet ferrets presents sudden green diarrhea. Currently, it is believed that the pathogen is likely to cause the infection. Symptomatic therapy is a good treatment option.
4. Malignant lymphoma is a malignant lymphoma that can invade the thymus, liver, and spleen. It is a common tumor in young pet ferrets. Diagnosis requires lymph node puncture examination for confirmation. Malignant lymphoma has various characteristic symptoms depending on the organ involved by the tumor. Generally, splenomegaly, peripheral lymph node enlargement, wasting syndrome, weakness, and changes in eating habits are common symptoms. If it invades the thoracic cavity, there will be difficulty breathing, fast heartbeat, exercise intolerance, and occasional fever and syncope. In the cutaneous type, numerous small nodules can be seen on the skin. Malignant lymphoma can be controlled with anticancer drugs and immunosuppressants, but it may recur.
5. Other common skin tumors are common in the elderly pet ferrets. They should be removed immediately because tumors can irritate ferrets and often transform into malignant tumors. Common types include: button-like protrusions that are usually itchy and cause ferrets to scratch and become bald; irregular warty growths that are prone to bleeding and can easily transform into malignant tumors.
6. Gastric ulcers are easy to occur in both pet ferrets and humans due to bacteria. Pet ferrets may have decreased appetite, soft stools, persistent vomiting, weight loss, teeth grinding, and black stools. In addition to using general ulcer medications, antibiotic treatment is still required.
1. Habitat
Overall, the care of a Blind Mameyer Ferret is quite simple. They are usually active and playful, so all you need to do is provide a comfortable and cozy cage with an appropriate size. You can also place some toys that they like inside the cage. It is important to note that their daily activities such as eating, drinking, and using the bathroom will all be done inside the cage. Therefore, you need to pay extra attention to its cleanliness and hygiene. For example, you should regularly bathe them and disinfect their cage. These ferrets are naturally clean, so as long as you do the basic care, they will also pay attention to these issues.
2. Food Points
The diet of a Blind Mameyer Ferret is different from other animals. For them, their preferred food should be fish or food made from minced muscle. If your financial condition is limited, you can consider giving them specialized ferret food, but it is not the first choice for them. Fish-based food contains rich fats and proteins, which can better meet their growth needs. So, it is best to provide them with highly nutritious food. However, it is important not to give them too much food at once. Although they are active, you should not let them eat excessively as it will only harm them.
1. Remember, don't eat randomly. Before letting them out to play, please close all the doors and clean up the garbage on the ground (ferrets are very curious and will eat anything). Generally, if they eat foreign objects, they will have bloody stools, vomit, and refuse to eat.
Basically, they eat food, lactic acid bacteria, and Qiangbao. You can feed them nutritional cream at three and a half months. After six months, you can feed them snacks.
2. Keep them indoors in winter and pay attention to ventilation in summer to keep them cool.
3. Please check whether the feces of the ferret are normal every day. Generally, the stools before four months are softer, and then they will gradually become like toothpaste. Healthy feces should be a dark brown color.
4. If they sneeze, cough, and have a runny nose at the same time, please use Meibei or add Banlangen in the water.
