Lynda donated a bag of the new Iams, the one that the ground rice was
replaced with corn grits or some such thing. Now I'm not sure if they
changed more than that but my guess is they did. I use 4 cups of Iams in
the daily recipe I make (I also use 3 cups of Totally Ferret for older
ferrets) and when I started using the changed Iams, the texture of the
recipe became gritty and the ferrets don't like it. Now it's obvious to
me if they had added more meat the recipe wouldn't have a grainy texture
so.... Anyway the ferrets don't like the recipe as well as before so there
was a big enough change in the formulation that the ferrets taste buds
noticed.
Scooby is doing well. Yesterday he learned to climb up and down two steps.
Down he goes slow but up he gallops. The steps are big so he has to get a
good start. He continues to grow and rumor has it he's eating hard kibble.
Our 7+yr old sable Shadow (we have an albino Shadow too) has decided to
mother Scooby. Last night I watched as she cleaned him thoroughly as he
slept. :-) Otis and Meethos still haven't accepted him so we're working on
that. Minge plays vigorously with Scooby, then tries to drag him off with
me hot on his tail. I was looking at Scooby last night and noticed he's
grown so much in the week he's been with us. His body fits his head but
his feet are still big. He should be a big boy.
We are on Bob's list so I'm anxiously awaiting his visit on his way back
home. :-) I want to see the ferrets mob him and see if Pumkin tries to
intimidate him.
Dancer left us. It was her time, she was ready and I was prepared. The
others are doing well.
Warm hugs to all. tle
