Re: ferret skin problem

I would guess it's a female that has been mated. The males chew their neck up when they mate

Re: ferret skin problem

Boys can get a sore neck too if they have been together. They playfight, even when neutered, but un-neutered hobs can be a lot more aggressive, and the play-fighting can become serious. Can cause injury, sometimes severe.
