Subject: Orange fur
I have an Albino that has recently gone through his winter coat and weight
change. He has gotten pretty chubby and now has the softest fur you have
ever felt, even my vet commented on how soft he was. His coat is also much
thicker. The only other change is that, recently, he has been getting more
orange. He plays, eat, poops and all fine, but he is really turning orange.
Is this something to be concerned with or does it mean I should start
bathing him. I usually don't bathe my ferrets unless they get into something
and get dirty or I suspect a flea. Should I be bathing him on a regular
basis? or is there something wrong? or is this just natural and it will go
away? I see all these pictures of albinos and they are always so snowy
white.
Oh, and the orange is most noticeable down his spine, on his tail and on the
sides of his face.
Thanks,
Stephanie
