Hello all
 
HAIR LOSS
>Last night I noticed that Daggett, my 8 month old cinnamon boy had lost
>hair just below his belly on both his left and right sides.  Basically
>where his hips are... This morning I noticed that he was losing hair on
>the middle of his tummy just above the other two patches...not completely
>bald, but like little peach fuzz almost...
 
Chances are that he is rubbing/wearing it off when he crawl through tubes
and other small places.  This may be especially true if he has gained a
little winter weight.  His belly and "knees" are dragging on the floor!
 
CAGE SIZE
>is it okay that my fuzzy is going to be living in a 30 x 30 rabbit hutch??
 
This is an acceptable cage size for one or two ferrets.  Just be sure to
let your ferret(s) out to play for at least three to four hours daily.  As
for the cage itself, be sure to cover the floor with something to protect
your ferret's feet from the wire (e.g.  linoleum or carpet).  Also provide
a hammock or two and plenty of blankies. : )
 
Happy Ferreting!
