I have recently seen the same symptom in my 8 month old sable, Spencer. He
has lost noticable amounts of weight recently. He is also very active and I see
him eat on a regular basis. His housemate, Val, who is only 5 months old is
getting huge. I wonder if the younger one is keeping Spencer from eating as
much as he did in the past.

Is it normal for a ferret to lose weight in the spring?
