>When Dexter first came to us, his coat was an awful nicotine-yellow colour >and after a week of eating properly, it's becoming much paler. Has anyone >else experienced this sort of thing? Is it connected to the diet or not? My Albino Male Ferret Always turned an oringey / yellow colour at a certain time of the year. I can't remember exactly but I think it was shortly before he shed. He did this every year and was perfectly healthy. My female albino used to turn a little oringe but not to the extent that he did. Paul Webster. [Posted in FML issue 1632]
