I stopped at the grocery store and pet store on the way home Saturday. I
went into the ferret room, dropped all the bags on the floor, and let the
fuzzies out. While I was putting away the ferret things, they snorkled
though the bags. Slinky got bored and wandered off, but Toggles emerged -
with a thin plastic bag with 2 "heads" of garlic in it! Now, my ferrets
don't eat plastic, so I took out the clove I needed for dinner, tied a knot
in the bag, and let him have it. It was promptly hidden under the bed, and
I told my boyfriend to remind me to get it out later.
Well, Monday afternoon, the ferrets were running around the bedroom while
the boyfriend (who thinks he is a giant ferret - he even gets fed raisins
when he's good. :) and I watched a movie on the couch. When the movie was
over, I went in the bedroom to check on the ferrets - only to be nearly
knocked over by the smell of garlic! The ferrets were asleep, so I dug
under the bed, and pulled out the remains. Toggles had torn a hole in the
plastic bag, and had eaten 2 or 3 entire cloves!
He's eating and pooping normally, and I can't imagine it making him sick,
although he couldn't understand yesterday why I wouldn't let him kiss me -
his breath _reeked_ of garlic!
