the apprentice 178 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Just notice the hobs tail has went ratty looking, yet the gill he's penned up with is fine, any ideas??? Quote Link to post
Kaiserdog 20 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 He's moulting by the sound of it all of my ferrets look the same except one. Quote Link to post
GreyRake 108 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Changing into his winter coat most likely now its getting cooler. One of my jills looses hair on her tail and lower back on the run up to getting her winter coat, she had a bald tail for close to two months last year then grew a nice new coat. Quote Link to post

The one 8,493 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 With the earlier and longer darker nights he's maybe coming out of season so I reckon it's hormones Quote Link to post
the apprentice 178 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Cheers again, either or, as long as he doesn't need vetenary treatment, (every pounds a prisoner)lol Quote Link to post
GreyRake 108 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hair loss in ferrets can sometimes mean something more severe. But at this time of year and assuming hes otherwise behaving/looking healthy I wouldn't rush to the vets. Quote Link to post
