Yep!

As Canis says, it is usually hormonal at this time of year, i had a male lose loads of hair one year but it all grew back, if the ferret seems ok in itself, i wouldn't worry too much, but if it seems ill, VETS!

genral rule if its bace of the tail down to the tip, its normal rat tail, if its bace of the tail up the back, could be adreanal (cancer).

 

all my albinos lose all ther tail fur this time of year.
