Subject: Re: [ferrethealth] Sudden Growth spurt?
To: <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>

>I have an 18 month old male ferret. He suddenly lost weight and then has gained back a little. His poops are normal. He has food access at all times. He does get ferret-vite regularly too. He is not lethargic, in fact he's a bundle of energy and very bright eyed and active.
Can a growth spurt cause sudden weight loss?<

Normal healthy ferrets reach their maximum body size before they are 6 months old, they can get fatter or thinner but the bone structure remains the same. Chris
