My albino's are slightly yellow round there necks, i have found if they are castrated or spaeyed they tend to loose the yellowing

Sebaceous Glands, mate. Glands in the skin which secrete oil (Sebum) into the actual hairs. Because it's inside the hair, you can't wash it off. Your ferrets are doomed to stay yellowish

 

Why they turn from pretty, snow white kits to manky, yellowish adults? Exactly that: Maturation. Become more aromatic with it and, conversley, the now oiled hair often becomes just that shade harsher too.

 

Sorted?

Could always bleach them, why not give em a perm too

 

If your real carefull you could make them stripey with small mohicans, bit like the gremlins, that would scare them ole bunnies out from their hiding places

A few others reasons

A more toxic glowing type yellowing could be a sign of Hepatitis (tho pretty unlikely)

another cause is piss and stuff on the fur especially on hobs they allways seem lighten up in winter coat tho

Dont worry about it, you will find that jills will tend to loose fur, either when mated or in this heat that were having at the moment. And the fur goes a shade lighter, When the fur starts to lengthen again, the colour will come back. I promise!

this can be caused by blocked bile ducts the ducts would need opening and flushing out apparently
