My new kits have a 2 dots tatoo on their ear. I recall hearing this is a way
to determine where they came from. Anyone know id this is the mark of a
specific breeder. The store person told me she thought they were from Canada
and that they were not from their ususal supplier.
Thanks!

Two black/dark blue dots on the ear is usually "Marshall Farms" in the
US, but it's not 100% certain. Marshall Farms also started putting a dot
on one of the toes, but it's very hard to see. Nearly impossible, I've
heard, unless you have a completely white ferret.

Personally, I don't think it's hard to see the toe-tattoos on non-white
ferrets. Oddly enough though, I have a whitish ferret who has a little
toe tattooed.
