Well its that time of year once again. Time to loose the winter fluff and weight. Time to give our cages a nice fur coating! I cant speak for the rest of the country (im sure some of the southern states have already begun). I can only speak on behalf of my area, the pacific northwest. Just remember that ferrets cant hack up a furball like cats can. You must give them ferret lax a few times a week to make sure they are not building a nest in their belly. If you feed a BARF diet (bones and raw food) you shouldnt have to worry, the bones from their prey keep the fur from building up. I had enough fur in my cage yesterday to make a nice sweater out of. So the cage will get 100% changed out every 2 days or sooner for a few weeks. Have a great ferret day! And dont forget to support you local shelter. If you are a shelter "dooks" to you!
