Hi Aaron,=A0 Thanks for giving these 2 boys a home.=A0 Did you just recentl=
y get them?=A0 Do you know what type of food they had been on?=A0 If they h=
ad been or are on a poor quality diet, the fur-thinning could be from that.=
=A0 Usually with the adrenal fur-loss, it starts at the base of the tail, a=
nd then from there you can see it going down the tail and up the back.=A0
=A0
You also=A0mention that one doesnt eat as much... you could try supplimenti=
ng his diet by giving him some babyfood (Gerber's meat only... make sure it=
doesnt have added in veggies or pasta)...=A0 If he's never had it before, =
it may take a number of times of you offering it to them.=A0 If you put som=
e on your finger, it usually tastes better to them that way for some strang=
e ferret reason. :))=A0=A0=A0
=A0
If they havent been to the vet, you want to get them there anyways, to get =
a well-checkup, and any vaccines if needed, and at that time the vet could =
give you a better idea if its adrenal furloss your seeing or something else=
.=A0
=A0
Good luck w/ your new boys, and thanks again for giving them a home.
