Subject: Weight Loss in 2 Ferrets

Hi Everyone,

I'm a newbie. We currently have 2 ferrets, 2 rabbits, and a kitten.
My fiancee and I noticed that the ferrets have lost a significant
amount of weight. Freak was getting a bit of a belly back in
Feb/March and Spike was chunky up until March. (I think) Spike
started to lose some weight in March/April. We thought it was
because he was getting more exercise. We got him from a rescue in
November and he didn't get much playtime outside of his cage. We
have a separate room for the ferrets and they get free run of it.

They have been eating and pooping normally so there isn't any sign of
a blockage. Also, neither of them has lost any fur. Any help I can
get would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brenda
