Well see its been many years since I've had ferrets over the age of 3
(which most of mine are now). Many years. Perhaps they do shed that much,
or differently than very young ferrets? Is the tail slow to grow that
undercoat after they shed? Can their tail be really sparse after a shed for
a while? If this is normal, is it more obvious as ferrets get older?
I was curious, does monthly ivec orally, prevent ear mites? They are on
that routinely. If a ferret gets ear mites, can one see them in a simple
(1000x powe) microscope?
