ferret-land 0 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Could be stress. Extremely important to have jills taken out of season. Cause many problems. Was going to say play fighting but not after i saw the picture. Could be an underlining illness but would need blood tests etc. If she is fine in herself, eating, drinking then that is a good sign but she could go down quickly. Worth taking to a vet to get checked out. Baldness is very common. Quote Link to post

Worth taking to a vet to get checked out. Baldness is very common. After reading that post I know who's stressed and it's not the ferret. Heading to the vet because a ferret has a bald patch, how much do you spend on cotton wool in a year? Relax ferret-land, and as for it's " Extremely important to have jills taken out of season", I'll not even go there. Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 . Baldness is very common. Ive lost count on the amount of ferrets Ive had since being a teenager, and my mates too, have yet to see any "baldness" in a ferret, so cant be that much of a common problem, ferret-land, you sound like one of those dotting mothers that aint happy unless their child is sick, Quote Link to post
PETEWINN 5 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Just one of those unexplained things. Nothing to worry about if she's behaving normally. Had one jill ferret that would go completely bald every summer and lived to the age of 11. Quote Link to post
