my ferret keeps losing weight

Question
Hello,
      My ferret, MoJo, keeps losing weight. We give him Totally Ferret, and we give him Ferretone sometimes. But, every time i see him, and pick him up, he feels,and looks skinnier.....help?

Answer
The first thing I suggest is that if you are very concerned, get to a vet to have him checked out.  If you are a little worried then I would suggest a weekly weigh so that you can monitor if he is actually losing weight.  We weigh our ferrets every 2 weeks on a digital small scale so that we can in fact notice weight loss quickly.  Sometimes I think one is losing weight, but the scale tells me I am worried for no reason.
