Color changing

Question
Hi I have 2 female sable colored ferrets, I have only had them about a month and I have noticed that one of them has went from a pretty dark sable color to almost completely white on her back. Now I dont know if as they get to be "old" they start changing color but I was told she is only about a year old. She seems fine there has been no change in her eating habbits or level of activity so I just wondered if this is normal or if I should worry! Thanks

Answer
Hello Crystal and thank you for your question,

This is perfectly normal my cinnamon ferret thou seems to have been oppisett... he was almost white when I got him and got darker marking as he got older. Ferrets seem to change color quite a bit as they age she should stay this color now but it may still change.
