Are you sure you have Mazuri?  There are **NO** different colored kibbles
in Mazuri..they are all small brown pellets.  I would suggest that either
someone has mixed something in with the bag or it is not Mazuri Ferret
Diet.

Under no circumstances should **ANY** wood chip product be used in
conjunction with ferrets.  (Or any small animal)  The esters they give
off *are* detrimental to their health.  (It should be noted that wood
**pellets** are ok to use....as the wood used to make them, have been
soaked in a slurry, heated to an extremely high temperature and extruded,
under high pressure.  All the harmful esters are gone by the time the
pellets are formed.)
