My other >baby has the most soft coat I have ever seen. I have been wondering the same thing, myself. I have two ferrets, from two different breeders. Faya (MF, female), although almost 10 weeks old, still has very soft fur. Zero has rough fur, and always has. I got him at about 8 weeks of age, just like Faya. I thought that perhaps Zero was older than the petstore people thought, or Faya was younger than the petstore people thought. Maybe it has something to do with the seasons. So, I would love to hear what some of you have to say about this! Andrea [Posted in FML issue 1865]
