Hello all, this is my first post & am hoping someone out there can help. When is shedding season for Ferrets??? I have a year old male that has started shedding. I haven't noticed this before so it kind of threw me for a loop last night when there was fuzz fur on me. He is Very active, eats & drinks well, does his litter box duties. I have to take him to the vet for his yearly shots & am also wondering what to expect there?? I have heard some bad stories about the reactions to those also. I don't want anything to happen to my little Marty cause ever since I first saw him in the pet store I was in love with the cute wriggly little ball of fluff. My son says that I am possessed. Maybe I am but I just love him like no other. I am just so afraid of something happening to him & with the shedding thing it scared me. Here it is the last of November & he is shedding. We live in Iowa for goodness sake, it's cold here & he is shedding??? Someone out there please let me know if this is normal. He also only weighs about 1 1/2 pounds, but has a good appetite. Is that normal also?? I really hope so. E-mail me at [log in to unmask] Thanks in advance!! Marty's Mom [Posted in FML issue 3249]
