Hello everyone,
I would like to get some feedback from some of you who might have had a
problem similar to the one I am experiencing.
 
I went away this weekend and left my kids (Abby and Penny) at home to be
taken care of by my brother.
 
Upon returning I found a litter box full of poop that looked just like a
small rope.
 
After looking to find out what one of the fuzzy little critters could have
possibly eaten, I found the bottom of their hammoc chewed to no extent.
Both seem to be eating their normal food OK and using the litter box normal,
but why on earth would they eat blue jean material?  I think I am fortunate
that which ever one ate it, didn't get all bound up and sick, but why would
they do this?
 
They eat a healthy diet of Iams cat food and vitamins along with their
snacks of raisins and grapes and ferret cookies, I am totally beside myself.
Is there certain materials which attract them, do I have to check their
bedding daily to see if there are holes in it and if so, what do I do if I
find one of them ate something else?
 
Like I said, they are both eating normal and acting like the retarded little
stinkers that they are, jumping at literally nothing, rolling around on the
floor like they are being attacked and chasing me through the house as I
walk from one room to another, but I would be absolutely crushed if either
one of them got hurt because of my negligence.
 
Could someone please tell me if this is normal eating habits or if they are
in need of some other supplement in their diet?
 
Thank you
Audra, Abby and Penny
