Hey all.
I've become a ferret mom recently. Adopted a 1y/o crazy lil boy in okay conditions, he's been implanted with Suprelorin implant a month ago, he accepted raw, but still fights with boney meals.
Its summer here and it gets to like 38 celsius but hes under AC most of the day and I keep the temp at 25 celsius at most.
Lately there's been some weather changes and temperatures fluctuate from 22 to 32.
He's been ignoring his food most of the day, then the other day he eats up some, next day he stashes it, third day he eats normal, then all over again. I'm going nuts. Been trying to hand feed him but he takes a bite and runs off to stash it.
When he's out he's acting like his normal self, jumping around, discovering, going bonkers, stealing my socks, stashing his toys...
My question is, for a summer season (as this is my first summer with him) is this normal? Does weather change affect his eating habits?
He's also going through shedding and im brushing him every day, giving him raw egg which he accepts and eats it right away, he hasn't lost more than 50grams which i was told was normal during summer. I don't see any simptoms of blockage etc.
I also noticed he doesnt sleep much during the day, but he pulls off an allnight sleep session with a few toilet breaks.
Help me not lose my mind 😂
