I've heard about blue tails, or blue skin when a ferrets fur is growing in, but until yesterday, I've never seen it. Our 6 have been relatively healthy, so no surgery or adrenals that would cause fur to grow back. However, one of ours, Salty, has always had tail acne. So she's never really had much fur on her tail. She looked like a rat! Well we've been really taking care of her tail to the point that there's no more blackheads and finally yesterday, it looked like her tail was all black & blue! Upon closer inspection, it was fur growing in! - Mish __MICHELLE Z.
