GREAT TIP! We are trying to get away from pumpkin and this seems like a better idea

is this alright to use during the shedding season to prevent those potentially nasty hairball blockages?

For that use raw egg(prevention). The lecithin in the yolk dissolves the fats binding the hair together. Use the lax here in an emergency situation.

ok thats what I was wondering... I was looking into the ferret lax on amazon but after finding out about the sugars in them... I dont want to use them... as for the egg.. I have a friend who had told me about egg (I didnt know if could be used to help in aiding the prevention of nasty hair ball blockage) how often do you feed them this? once a day? or every few days?

I do once a week normally, and increase to two during shedding season.

ohh awesome thank you! now is it just the yolk no whites or the entire egg? looks like I will be adding an egg every Sunday when I clean his blankets and such oh! in the event he is stubborn and doesnt want to eat it what should I do? take some on my finger and encourage him to try it that way?

I do just the raw egg yolks for mine, like Sherry said, once a week, and twice a week during the shedding season when hair blockages are at their most common. Athena took to it immediately, so well in fact, that I had to use a drop of it on new foods to introduce to her for a while even. For Loki, I had to mix into his raw soups for a while to make him used to the taste of egg yolk, but he will eat just the yolk now.

As a new ferret owner to two boys, thank you! Any tricks for itchiness? I know it's just a ferret thing to do, but I'd love to bring the itching & scratching down at least a bit.
Also, my oldest boy, Zeek, has a bit of a rat tail. His hair is thinning on the underside of his tail (but not at the base, thank goodness!). I'm curious if there is anything I can do to increase hair growth & fullness in general, which may help to gain a little hair on his tail.
I know salmon oil is good, but any other remedies I should know for skin & coat? Thanks in advance!
