HI NIkki, DOes your ferret have a cagemate? Of so those whiskers might have been chewed off by the cagemate! They will grown back. Be aware that if the whiskers were not broken off by rough play, rubbing on cage wire etc, they might indicate a health issue. So watch your ferret and if you notice something healthwise out of the norm check with the vet! Alicia at www.ferretwise.org [Posted in FML issue 5251]
