What ferrets get is AAE, not Cushings. That is not to say that perhaps
some strange one won't sometime wind up with Cushings, but the
strongly predominant adrenal disease in ferrets is Adrenal Associated
Endocrinopathy.

There is a lot out there, actually.
The interplay of things that ultimately increase LH and FSH (such as too little complete
darkness, or neutering, or both) and how those things cause adrenal growths is well
explained in the FHL Archives.
