Cinnamon Ferrets
Updated October 2026 · By the Adopt a Ferret team
A cinnamon ferret has light reddish-brown guard hairs over a cream or white undercoat, slightly darker reddish legs and tail, a light mask and a pink or brick-colored nose. It's a warm, eye-catching color that's less common than sable or albino. Right now it's one of our most common colors, with 7 cinnamon ferrets available.
What does a cinnamon ferret look like?
- Guard hairs: light reddish brown, like the spice.
- Undercoat: cream to white.
- Points: legs and tail a deeper reddish brown.
- Mask: usually light or faint.
- Eyes and nose: eyes light to dark burgundy; nose pink, beige or brick.
Cinnamon vs. champagne vs. chocolate
These three warm colors are easy to mix up, especially in indoor photos:
- Champagne is the palest: a soft tan or beige.
- Cinnamon sits in the middle with a distinctly reddish tone.
- Chocolate is browner and darker, like milk chocolate.
Daylight shows the difference best. If you're deciding between ferrets, ask us for a photo by a window.
How the color develops
Cinnamon kits often look paler than they'll be as adults, and the reddish tone deepens as the adult coat comes in. After that, the color shifts with each seasonal coat change: a little lighter and fluffier in winter, a little deeper in summer.
Cinnamon ferrets in our litters
Our cinnamons come from all three current litters, so you can choose a 3-month-old kit or a more settled 6- or 7-month-old. Our cinnamon boy Loki is also available as half of a bonded pair with sable Cookie.
