I haven't seen anyone post about their ferrets winter coats this year, and was curious to know if anyone in New England, NH, has noticed that their ferrets haven't gotten a heavy winter coat this year. Mine started to shed the begining of October and then stopped. They have a very lite coat this year. Nothing like last year. I have 10 ferrets and they are all like that. Maybe a real mild winter this year? Boy I sure hope so. They eat Totally Ferret and duck soup and are all very healthy, even my almost 7 yr old Skittles. To the person who uses Lexan on the their cage bottoms: what is Lexan? Just curious to know for I have one cage (midwest) with 5 ferrets and it is a pain to clean. Any suggestions are always welcome. Bob C. My condolences to you on losing Stella. It does get easier but they are never forgot. I still feel my Snowy's cold wet nose on my foot every so often (when there are no other ferrets around).
