Subject: Shedding

I have two one year old male ferrets. I've been noticing my sable
shedding at the wrong time of year. He is very healthy looking and
acting, and is growing new hair all the time. He is dropping a lot
of hair, though, so I was looking to find if he might be false
shedding. He doesn't show balding at the base of the tail, like
adrenal ferrets do, so I don't know how worried I should be. He has
also been losing some weight, even though he eats good. I thought
this could be due to a hair ball. If anyone can help me with this,
I would appreciate it. Thank you for any info you can give
