This is in response to Tanya Stephens' question about weight gain.  Our
little boy, Dakota, put on close to a pound in the month of September.  We
became concerned and took him to our vet.  He gave Dakota a good looking
over and said that he didn't believe anything was wrong with him.  I had
heard that large weight fluctuations were possible and I figure this is what
happened.  I would suggest that if you have a good vet just to take your
little Izzy in for a look over if you are concerned.  $30 isn't a lot to pay
for a little peace of mind.  Plus, our vet was so happy to see a healthy
ferret.  He commented that most of the ferrets he sees are sick with one
thing or another.
 
Good Luck!
