Suki posted to me that loss of fur was hormonal and some other causes other than diet. Unfortunately I have to fully disagree with that where I have had diets of ferrets that did cause loss of fur. Byte-me loves tomatoes. I was feeding her about all she wanted but she lost all her fur from too much of the red stuff. I stopped feeding tomatoes and shortly after her fur began to come back so diet can adversely affect the coats on these animals. I do not intend to argue this point with anyone but to express my findings, you make your own conclusions and good luck for the little guys you keep.
