They shed their fur just before they have kits, and by looking at that pic she is in kit, I think they must use their fur to line the bed out for nesting material, mine has done it every time she has young, don't worry about it mate, atb paul

[theferreter 311]

thats perfectly normal mate for them to molt out like that

[johnharris 177]

all mine are like that at the moment

[The one 8,477]

Hormones are running wild mate strip her out if its warm she will feel better

mine looks twice as small it shedded that much hair, ive seen ferrets with short hair like a staffy in the summer.

[Guest annette jackman]

mine plucked her fur to line her nest before she had kitts, grew back quickly though, still looks sleek, but september time fluffs back up

Looks to me like shes in kit and if not and she hasnt been near an entire hob then its just hormones etc mate nothi.g too worry about atb geo

All is well there mate,nothing to worry about, all ferrets (jills and hobs) will shed their winter coat as it gets warmer.Jills as stated above also line their nests with their own fur for the arrival of their kits.And jills not on kit but in heat will shed quite badly and usually go thin if not taken out of heat either by a vasectomised hob or jill jab.All normal for this time of year.

I used to strip mine out to a mohican and take there pics and send them to my mate saying look what i just bought

[Tug 168]

My old spayed Jill used to go like that every summer, it's a combination of hormone imbalance and summer moult.
