Bald Ferrets

[vfr400boy 3,472]

2 of me older Ferrets are starting to go bald on ther tails and paws ? They are both about 6 years old and seen fine apart from the hair loss , I treat all my ferrets with ivermectin so do t think it's mights the 2 balding ferrets are in separate cages and live with different ferrets . Any ideas

Most probably down to hormones mate,

My old jill has lost a load of fur this year, I put it down to losing my hob and not being brought out of season. It seems to be growing back well now the weathers beginning to change though.

one of my older jills is pretty bald as well , i think she will settle down now the dark nights are coming in

My Jill's tail went like a rats during the late summer it's all come back now I never bred from her this year so put it down to that

Cleaned mine out today to get the crap away in the bucket tomorrow and theres a few starting to look rough i think its to do with the season and they will get over it but im feeding steeplers ( feral pigeons ) every second day and although ive froze them for a good couple of weeks before feeding them im still thinking they could be something off them
