Hey I have a question:
 
I caught Patch eating some rat food yesterday...the compressed pellet type.
 
Will this be bad for Patch's digestive system or am I just a panicking
first-time ferret owner?
 
Also, yesterday Patch's bowel movements were accompanied by loud farting
noises.  Is this normal or am I just a panicking first-time ferret owner?=
 
Lily's had a bowel movement yesterday that looked like translucent amber,
but today her poop looked normal.  Should I be worried?
 
And, why is it that becoming a ferret owner seems to involve an obsession
with ferret poop?  I never examine my gerbil or rat poop, just my ferret
poop.
 
Thanks for your advice!
