Speaking of orange ferrets, my altered Marshall boy Fenton, who is a BRM that is gradually roaning out to more of a silver, is actually very orange lately. I'm kind of worried about how orange he is.

I wonder if that was caused by the same thing that caused Finn to go into rut at the wrong time of year, i.e. too many hours of light per day...

What does he smell like Mikey? Sounds really stupid but Lady "B" went orange, her smell became more like a bad hob...she was adrenal She showed no other signs for about a year but it has been her marker ever since. I've been wondering recently about the amount of light we subject our ferrets to actually might be aggravating or causing the adrenal to be more aggressive at a much younger age. I never really thought about it until I discovered just how sensitive our hobs are to the amount of light we subject them to

Lucretia also developed the tell tale orange colour. That's what made me take her in and the vet agreed adrenal

Well, he isn't acting adrenal or smelling at all, he smells nice actually, like fur and hay or something. I'll have to keep an eye on him though.

It could simply be the light issue mikey seems funny it started same time as finn and his is definatly dancing hormones lol take care bye for now
