I believe they get worms like every thing else but they would eat not store I had a hob do this to me a few years ago I feed it raw egg and put a little salt in the water and gave this through a pro-pit but any thing will do as long as you get it to eat after about 5 days it started to feed again. I would say take it to the vets to get them checked out as it is something in both as with mine the other were fine.

Mine have never done this in the summer they may store a little but they dont seem to get that skinny and they have all there tackle to I got 8 hobs at the moment and over 20 years never noticed it either not saying you wrong either maybe I do some thing different I will have to have a closer look at mine and see if it happening to mine I have noticed there hair is finer making them look thinner but there weight stays around 4lb.

You can get some anti parasite spot on in most pet shops for ferrets no harm in doing them as it does everything including mange it's called beaphar , anti parasite spot on for ferrets , even kills and treats ear mites I know as dud one last summer ,

Not saying they get real skinny just loose there winter extras and to some may look a but drab , also hormonal ferrets start sorry can look rough from fur loss ,

they do lose weight in summer but they certainly shouldn't be skin and bone! have you got any pics of them you could put up?

Firstly ferrets don't get worms as their digestive tract works to fast. Secondly, most ferrets lose weight and fur at this time of year. If you are overlyconcerned, then get them to the vets, cost means nothing for your stinkers health mate.

Correct

 

Also at this time of year there minds are on shagging causing weight lose also but it could be something more like cancer tumour etc.

Unless they really are skin and bones i think your worrying unnecessary i like mine to be a little bit over in the winter as there working a full day or even loosing them for a day or more they have the fat reserves to cover it and during the winter if there no working there sleeping . But during the summer the hobs only have there mind on shagging and being the summer time mine are eating less , and are active all the time prowling the run and scratching the wire all the time and in the winter they have thick heavier coats but moult out in the summer time to thinner coats which can give the appearance of being skinny ,but saying all that have you checked there teeth ?.
