I am new to the list- I just joined today.  I have been meaning to join
for awhile, but because of something that happened this morning, I finally
did it.
 
I am worried about my ferret.  He got hold of a small rubber water toy that
I had (I thought it was put away, but he got hold of it- I must not have
ferret proofed as well as I thought I had) and he ripped the tail off of
it.  I found the tail and a few small pieces of rubber (it was not a squeak
toy, so no internal parts) in addition to the "torso" of the toy and picked
up everything I could find.  There are a few tiny chunks of rubber I could
not find and I worry that he may have ingested them.  I have watched him
like a hawk all day and he seems perfectly fine.  Should I take him to the
vet anyway?  What should I watch for?  I am worried!
