I currently have three, one year old ferrets. Only one of the three (who used to have real long hair) has been loosing hair over the past week and now has real soft, short, white hair instead of the long bushy hair he once had. If you run your fingers down his back there are literally clumps of hair coming out. I have heard the ferrets do molt, but since it's only February and none of my other two ferrets have lost any of their hair, it made me nervous. Does this sound like "normal" molting to you? Should I take him to the vet? Thanks for your advice. -Sybil ([log in to unmask]) [Posted in FML issue 5165]
