What you feeding her on mate ?. If its meat carcasses maybe the blood dried on those areas and that would make the hair fall off ?.

Never thought of that pal. Mainly this time of year they have dry food due to flys but they do get a meat carcass once a week. Rabbit, pigeon etc

They just look bald no irritation signs just pink and clean, starting to get hair again now so I think it was just moulting. Just never had a ferret when moulting loose all there hair on feet abd face in one go
