Hi everyone...Dooks to you all! I also wanted to put in my two cents worth in this little discussion about MF ferrets. I have a MF ferret and a Path Valley ferret. My MF ferret has always changed appropriately with the seasons, she is now 3 1/2 years old. However, i just got a Path Valley ferret in May and he is having problems... he has completely shed his coat and is ready for summer when he should be ready for winter. He has looked alittle big to me since we got him, but i didn't really think much of it. How i realize that he had his winter weather protection all this time and is now ready for summer. My vet siad I really should worry though, because he is very healthy. I guess he is just an Australian ferret....*laugh* oh well, just wanted to give you something to add to the conversation.
