We keep activated charcoal handy but I've never given it to the ferrets -
till tonight. Not as an emergency, but as a test. Activated charcoal is
a fine black powder that comes in a gel cap, and it can ruin just about
anything it comes in contact with. What I did was to take about a
tablespoon of Gerber Chicken & Gravy and mix part of the capsul into it.
All the ferrets were offered what looked like grey morter or something
reamed out of failed plumbing - and they all loved it. So I added the rest
of the capsul and set the bowl on the floor. It's all gone! Of course in
about 3 hours, when I see what's waiting for me in the litter pan I could
regret this little experment!
Activated charcoal is great stuff, I've taken it, and given it to my dog
a number of times. It will de-activate some really harmful substances.
