>...I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem. My ferret's >name is O'Malley. He is a beautiful brown sable color. However, over the >past couple of weeks the fur on the top of his head has become lighter in >color, almost as if he was going gray! Overall he is still your average >O'Malley. What's going on? Don't worry...I have had the same thing happen to one of my fuzzies, Fred. He is a very dark sable, but a couple months ago, I noticed that the fur on and around his head lightened to a gray-ish silver color. Ferret's coats can change somewhat as they age. I have heard of many other sables that had that occur. I actually think that it is kinda pretty now, and have noticed that the fur on/around his head is way softer than any other part of his body. I think that is makes a fuzzbutt unique and special. Jennifer M. Coyer CVT Fred, Faya and Zero the nutty fuzzbuckets [Posted in FML issue 2114]
