I'm glad to hear Casper is already showing signs of hair growth. Two
weeks is pretty quick actually. It usually takes a bit more than two
weeks, but it also depends on how long the ferret has been adrenal
and therefore, how long the hair follicles have been inactive.
I usually use wait until the sutures are removed at around the 10-14
day mark before allowing normal activity. If Casper's recovery was
uneventful, he's ready to go back to his usual activities, unless
that includes launching himself from great heights.
