do you use small pingpong balls or the larger ones like for a childs ball pit?

The balls used are ping pong / table tennis balls, you can put anything your ferrets love to dig in the pit. During warmer summer months take the digging material out and replace with approximately 2 inches of water which helps cool ferrets off due to the feet in water lowers blood temperature as ferrets cannot perspire.

Depends on time of season and if its over length of tail or at base. If its tip of tail down and during summer period then its tail alopecia (rat tail) which is common and when winter coat starts appearing it will grow back...very common amongst ferrets. If its at base of tail and spreading over thighs I would seek vetinary advice due to possibility of adrenal but at 1.5 years I'd say highly unlikely.

@@MrTangolizard yes 100% rat tail and a good percentage of ferret population suffer from it and nothing to worry about best to do is just let it continue without bathing as baths causes oils that ferrets produce to over produce. Good chance you'll also see what appears to be black heads on skin on hairless tale but all clears up when new coat grows.
