my young male ferret, Odo (less than 1 year old), has changed his coloring in the face twice sice i got him. he went from an having a patch of white on his nose, up around one eye, and streamlining back into a stripe on the back of his head (my vet called it his racing stripe), to having a solid white face with a less noticable stripe, and now to having dark, unsymettrical splotches in the white of his face and darkening of the fur on the border where the white ends around his ears and neck. he still has the stripe, too. my other ferret, kakarot, has stayed the same since i have had him (around 1 year). is this normal? thanks.
