D.E.W. ferret turning orange?

Question

My deaf D.E.W. is turning this burnt orange color. (I love her, but to be honest, it's rather ugly in contrast of my snow white and black baby!) It started out as a blotch between her shoulders - I thought it might have been a result of the flea issue at our old house, so I bathed her. It did not lighten, and now it's spread into a large triangle from her shoulder blades - and is spreading further! I now see spots of it under her neck and belly. She's very young - only about nine months old. And yes, I'm positive it's a female. I did just change from Zupreem to the Marshall Chicken diet - my  ECE ferret refused to eat any more Zupreem, so I had to switch.
     I've noticed that her bedding is getting *really* grimy, (white cotton turning yellow) fast. I just washed her bedding and within a week it's tinged and nasty again. I realize you should wash their bedding this often anyway, but before it wasn't grimy, just a little smelly and hairy. 
   She's still the energetic, hungry, fat little thing she's always been. Any suggestions?

It could maybe just be changing colors naturally...but still that sounds odd...go get her checked out by your vet just in case it's something worse.

because of the fact the seasons exchange and the days get longer, or shorter, the ferret will exchange its coat. each and every thing in a ferret is ruled by ability of the quantity of sunshine, no longer the climate. each and every time the coat differences there will be a version in coloration, dark ferrets in many situations look a lot lighter with their thick white wintry climate undercoat which they are going to shed in Spring and grow to be a lot darker returned. Albino ferrets in many situations look a lot whiter with wintry climate coats and then can pass incredibly yellow in summer season, or the different could be authentic. Silver ferrets pass a lot lighter with age, each and every season growing to be to be greater silver and dropping an outstanding kind of black markings. some ferrets who've patches of coloration unfastened those patches as they age with each and every exchange of coat and so coloration differences are incredibly wide-spread.
