Ferrets very rarely get diabetes, but it certainly can happen. Your vet should do a urinalysis and check the blood sugar on this ferret. Increased urination can also indicated a urinary tract infection or kidney disease.

Hi!:

Can anyone tell me the symptoms of ferret disbetes? All I can find is
info. on insulinoma.

Our one male ferret is urinating in large amounts (big puddles of
light colored pee) but he's not showing any other signs. Granted he
eats a lot of chicken gravy but my vet mentioned diabetes.

Thanks!
Lisa
