He does not seem like he does not enjoy his food or does >not get sick.. should I have him checked out for something specific ?? This can be a tough one. Small poops may be seen when there is a partial blockage, but food is still moving through. With him alert, eating well and active, this is something that I would just put in the back of my head, but keep a good eye on him anyway. >#2; female ferret 4-5 yrs old. has an enlarged Vulva ( going to vet) most >likely adrenal. noticed that my males are going after her ears. Very likely to be adrenal. Intact females do have a pronounced body odor that may not be very obvious to us non-ferrets, but other ferrets pick up on it. The ears are a site of a lot of scent glands, and these glands are probably highly active at this point.
