Question
How do know if my ferret is blind? What can I do about it? I am new and I just wanted to know. THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!

Answer
To be sure you would have to go to a vet, but ferrets often can't see very well.  Sight is a little used sense since they focus on smelling and sounds.  If he is blind, make sure you don't move things around too much so that he can figure his way around a space without hurting himself but other than that, you should hardly notice.
