Normal for time of year mate I've known them go bald it comes back after a while

[Guest jojoamojo]

it could be a summer moult, is it bald or just short hair?

 

there is a number of reasons for hair loss, if its completley bald patches as a pose to just short silvery hair then she needs the vets

 

what has she been fed on whilst pregnant and before hand just out of interest?

Pluck it out just like you would strip a dog the ferret will be cooler now the days are warming up and i reckon it makes them itchy

When the jill i had was pregnant last year , her nest had loads off hair in it , i wouldnt worry as long as she is eating & generally herself

[wabbithunter_15 0]

the ferrets will tend to use hair from their bodies to line their nest as kay has pointed out, nothing to worry about

My 2 jills look like moth eaten clothes as Kay says it,s normal moult their fur will line the nest for the kits...

WHY WOULD YOU GO TO A VET WHEN YOUR FERRETS HAVING A SUMMER MOULT ???????

[Guest on the hill]

the ferrets hair is pure proteen (or however u spell it lol be nice) they do moult alot but just to be sure feed ur ferret some food with extra proteen in it!! i allso sometimes use a multi-vitamin solution to there water the stuff i use is called vita-sol liquid multi vitamin i dont allways use this but i like to give my ferrets every chance in life so i tend to give them different feeds and such
