FERRETS 



A TO Z. 



187 



chase out rabbits from all manner of burrows 

 and hiding places. When they are let loose they 

 are very active and always want to be on the 

 move. They are of two colors, white and brown. 

 The white ones have pink eyes and are called the 

 English ferret and the brown ones have dark 

 eyes and are called the Fitch ferret. 



A BUNCH OF CONTENTED FERRETS. 



There is no difference in the two varieties as 

 to their breeding and working qualities — only a 

 matter of fancy as to color. They are hardy, 

 strong animals and breed well in any climate. 

 The average life of the ferret is from five to eight 

 years.
