Coats

Ashka (our 3year old, sterilised polecat girl) has started growing white hairs down the backs of her hind legs, and theres even a few in her tail. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them, or if anyone knows why this might be happening. After all she's only young...

must be stress!  
 
just joking :) my Tarvi has the same thing, I think it is just his colouring. most ferrets change colours over seasons / years.

I had taken the seasonal changes into account- I was just worried cause it started really suddenly- we moved house and within 2-3 days, she was growing all these little white hairs... I actually thought it was stress!!!  
But, they've since stopped growing, and she seems none the wiser for it, so hey!! I'm happy! :)  
Thanks!!
