Hi, My 4 1/2 year old female ferret is losing hair on her tail and her hind end. She seems very healthy otherwise. She does not see very well but it does not stop her. She is small but not skinny or fat. She is not a heavy sleeper like I have heard, I have 2 and neither of them are heavy sleepers. They will jump to attention as soon as they know you are opening the cage to let them out. They control the house when we are at home. We love them but the hair thing has me concerned, my husband says it is old age. Our other female, 3 years, her tail is getting thin at the tip but they are real go getters. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Monna, Taz and Squeeker!!!!! [Posted in FML issue 3043]
