This is my first post so hopefully I not made any major errors. I've been lurking for a while now but I just had to reply when I read that someone else has orange coloured ferrets. I adopted/rescued a DEW about two years ago. Calvin has always turned flourescent orange, both around the ears and especially the tail, every spring and fall. We have him on a combination of Science Diet and Iams but our vet does not believe that the diet has anything to do with the colour - she jokingly suggested that perhaps he still can change his coat with the seasons - Although how a bright orange tail is of any benefit is beyond me? I sure would be interested in any suggestions about this. Rena & Kali, Calvin 'the colourful', Gizmo, TJ, Sindbad, Toby and Okisi [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2110]
