QUESTION:
I have 3 ferrets that come from Marshall, 2 of them females, and I noticed that both females have a blue spot that looks like a tattoo on the middle finger cushion, left front leg. Is that a tattoo, or is it a coincidence that both my females have the same blue spot at the very same place.

ANSWER:
Along with the double dot tattoos on the right ear, they also tattoo a toe. The toe tattoo can be found on either foot or any toe and is usually not seen unless the fur is very thin there, or getting the paw very wet and deliberately looking for it. This tattoo identifies the vet that performed the fixing and descenting of the ferret.

QUESTION:
I just got my ferret a couple of days ago and I was wondering if the "2 dot" tattoo on the right ear for males means that they are neutered and descented. I heard this was true for females, I just wasn't sure about the males.

ANSWER:
The tattoos are placed in the ear by the breeder: MARSHALL FARMS to show that the ferret is neutered/spayed and descented.
