I am seeking advice from experienced ferret people and hope someone can
help me.  Chunky (mayonnaise)is losing the hair on his tail and I want to
know what people think I should do.  He doesn't have any bald spots, the
hair is just much thinner and pulls out effortlessly when we pet him.  Only
on the tail so far.  He is about a year old (or at least he's supposed to
be but there is a slight possibility of him being older).  His skin is
clear and healthy and he exhibits no signs of being sick.  He is playing
and eating and pooping normally.  I am of course worried about possibilites
of adrenal but don't know if there are other symptoms I should watch for or
if I'm just being an overly worried mommy.  Is there something else that
might be causing the hair loss?  Please, if anyone has any ideas or advice,
e-mail me!  I could really use some comfort from other ferret owners.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
