Hello Tim,
In response to your post regarding mucous in the ferrets stool, you have
answered your own question!
 
>The only change in his regimen has been that I took him off "Special Kitty"
>that his owner was feeding and put him on Nutro's Adult Cat Food (32%

>(prescription for stomach problems), but he only ate a couple of teaspoons
>of that.
 
Any diet change can cause an adjustment irritation in the digestive tract,
thus causing losses or mucousy stools.  If the diet remains constant and the
problem goes away - I would not worry about the changes.  However if the
diet remains constant and the stools seem irregular you may want to seek
some veterinary advice.
 
Happy ferreting,
