No, if they are on a proper diet (high protein, low carb/grain) ferrets do not really shed much. However, they will shed, probably a lot (depending on the climate where you live), in the spring and sometimes the fall. Ferrets grow winter coats and will shed them in the spring, but the shedding usually only lasts a week or two, then it's back to normal. Just keep them brushed during that period, and wash their bedding regularly.
If your ferrets sheds and does not regrow fur, this indicates a serious medical problem and should be taken to a veterinarian for a checkup

∙ 8y agoIt is normal for ferrets to shed from their tail, to some extent, particularly during spring and summer. Some ferrets, especially males, can lose a great deal of their tail hair on a seasonal basis, but it is common and nothing to worry about, as long as the tail regrows the hair in time for winter.
