problems and not going into or coming out of a shed. =A0it just appears t=
hat his =A0hair is thinning all over (not in patches) especially on his bel=
ly and his color looks pinkish at some angles due to the tones of the pink =
skin coming through his thinning hair. he also appears to have some slight=
ly crusty type areas on the skin you can see but i dont know if those were =
always there.
has anyone ever heard of evenly thinning hair in a ferret? can this be age =
related is it something more serious? does this happen and has it happened =
