Please tell me they do. Our last remaining ferret, Ralphie, he's been
very healthy and low-key up 'til now. He's a big fan of hangin' out in
hammies and watching people. Anyway, he's been doing multiple little pee
spots in the same place, more or less, 2 or 3 times while he's out. It's
on the carpet, right next to his cage. I am not worried about the ferret
pee in the carpet thing, it is nothing compared to the cat; however, this
is the same behavior Linus did when he started his adrenal thing. That
is, peeing 3 or 4 times in an hour. The pee spots are never very big,
nickel-sized, I guess. Ralphie's hair is still all on him. I would ask,
which comes first, constant peeing or hair loss, but I tend to think not
every ferret shows the same adrenal issues. I don't see Ralphie doing
this in the cage though. So, is he marking? He's about 4 now, I think.
Minta & Ralphie
