Hi Colleen :) I am guessing your orange ferret was previously white? Newton (my beautiful black-eyed-white) turns orange this time every year after a massive coat change, most predominantly down her spine and tail. Since it happens every year at the same time and her food never changes I always figured it was simply genetic. Good luck integrating your fuzzies Jen Newton, Dobie, Fig, Mojo and Maggie [Posted in FML issue 3209]
