Harder to spot skin issues under all that fur

One challenge specific to Angora ferrets is that health monitoring is more difficult. Signs of skin conditions, adrenal disease (hair loss is a common early sign in standard ferrets), or injuries can be hidden under the long coat. I've learned to do thorough parting and skin checks during grooming sessions. My vet (who specialises in ferrets) is also careful to part the coat during examinations. Be aware that the beautiful coat requires extra health vigilance.
