NEWS
SPRING IS HERE AND OUR FERRETS ARE SHEDDING.
This time of year our ferrets are shedding their fuller Winter coats, so we owners need to pay attention to ensure our kiddos don't get hairballs while grooming themselves. They are very "itchy" during this time and do a lot of licking to groom. It is helpful to brush them more frequently now and bath them towards the end of the shedding. Also, it is smart to wash their bedding to get rid of all the excess shedded hair.
MOST IMPORTANT, it is wise to use hairball medication during this coat-changing time. There are several brands specifically made for ferrets, with the correct dosing information on the tube. It is far better to be safe, then sorry, and avoid gastric obstruction that requires surgery.
Our kiddos do this shedding both in the Spring and again in the Fall, when they drop their lighter Summer coat.
