Are ferrets color blind? A ferret can see tones of gray, and red. They have poor vision, but can see better an night, if you notice their eyes are all black.

Ferrets have very poor eyesight and cannot see far-away objects, they mainly rely on their keen sense of smell. They can only see about two feet in front of them. Their peripheral vision (side to side) is better than their frontal vision, which often causes them to run into objects. Ferrets also have very poor depth perception and many have been injured climbing onto high places and falling. If you notice that a ferrets eyes are all black, they have better vision in the dark from their ancestors that lived in burrows in the ground. Ferrets are very poor at judging distance.

Can Albino ferrets see? Yes, of course they can. Just not quite as well as other ferrets.

Ferret eyes are black. Albino ferrets eyes are pink due to the lack pigmentation in its flesh or eyes. The eyes are opaque, but appear to be pink due to the fact that it is blood that is seen behind the eyes.

from other contributors:

Mine is really cool. Roger has one red eye and one black eye. Most ferrets have red or black eyes. I haven't seen any brown or blue eyes so I guess it's only red and black. Mine is cool. Roger has red and black eyes. My white one has red eyes and my brown and white one has black eyes. I have never seen a ferret with blue or black eyes so I'm guessing there are only red and black eyes.

Also, I'm seeing it very common that all my three completely white ferrets (with occasional black or brown spots) have red eyes and all my other ferrets had black.

No ferrets are not blind. When a baby ferret (also known as a kit) is born, it has a thin layer over it's eyes meaning that it cannot see.

Ferrets see the world in grey but can also make out certain shades of red and blue.
