I'm not going to recite a veterinary web site for you, but I will say that bald patches down the back, on the tail, and sometimes in a cross over the shoulders, as well, are a sign of adrenal gland tumors or malfunction. This condition can be deadly, but also is treatable and manageable in many ferrets for a good amount of time. It is a very common condition in ferrets of the age range you mention. You are going to need to take your ferret to the vet for an evaluation of the condition. Often, the condition is also found with urinary stones and blockages, particularly if the ferret is male, and preventive measures may need to be taken. Good luck!
Does it look like the hair loss in this picture?

totally bald, or just patches? You should have her looked at, by a vet that deals in exotics. If its just patches of bald, she may have fleas, which are detrimental to her, and will cause her to become anemic. Any doubts-get her to a vet!

Is she fixed? If not she could be stressed from not being bred. Don't laugh, I'm serious. Or you might have her checked for cancer. Ferrits are prone to it.

The most common symptom of adrenal disease in ferrets is hair loss. It also usually hits around 3 -31/2 years old. Please have her checked by your vet. Good Luck!

happens to ferrets as they age, though usually not until they're 4 or 5. get some anti-itch cream from a pet store; their skin gets itchy w/o fur
