While I missed the original post on the subject - I know my ferret Da Vinci
won't stick around to snort Ceramic Dust - he tries to leave the scene of
the crime as quickly as possible!
 
One thing I have become very careful with though is aspirin, Motrin and
derivatives.  Da Vinci would probablay injest anything that looks remotely
like an M&M !  I am sure this would cause major hemmorage in a ferret or any
small animal.  While not a Doctor, I recently went to the hospital with what
was diagnosed as a pulled muscle in my abdomen (super painfull :( .  I was
prescribed Naproxen ( stronger Motrin ) - until I figured out what was
causing it, I was coughing up blood.  (good amounts).  I weigh ~210lbs -
DaVinci ~3.5lbs, needless to say Mr. Ferret would be one hurting Dirt Devil
if he got even one.
