They are blackheads. My PB (a DEW) has the very same problem. I wash his
tail about once every two weeks with a mild soap. I know of others who
have used shampoo designed for acne. Washing the blackheads away will help
the hair grow back and make her tail less itchy.

Some ferrets enjoy eggs alot. They are a great source of high quality
protein. They wouldn't constitute a complete diet tho. As a treat or
extra they are great. That being said, hard boil them. Apparently raw
eggs have something in them that can make a fur kid anemic.
Cheers!
