Just came across angora ferrets in my web surfing! I didn't realize they came in different coat types, just color types. I knew that marshal bred ferrets were typically smaller then breeder bred ferrets, but these angora ferrets are something special!
From my research on the web I've gathered a bit of info on them!
They come from a Sweden breeder who notice a genetic mutation in one of their ferrets who had longer fur on its back and hind legs.
They are apparently very energetic, inquisitive and strong headed.
They can weigh up to 7 pounds! jeez! My heaviest ferret Mint is three pounds, and shes a Marshal ferret, bit of a porker, 7 pounds... that's the size of my cats! Talk about ferretzilla!
And apparently someone named Marc Morrone is the only breeder in the US that sells angora ferrets coming from Europe. If you are interested in getting one, you should get in touch with him. Be prepared though to spend a few more dollars given that they are imported. (Ferrets - the angora ferret)
Found some good articles on angora ferrets, here on Ferret Universe.
