  To E.S. concerning foil in the feces:
 
 
        Foil in itself isn't harmful, but a large amount of it could cause an
intestinal blockage, as it isn't broken down or softened by digestion.  I would
suggest administering Laxatone or a similar substitute (available at any
veterinarian's office) for a week or two, just to be on the safe side.  Laxatone
consists of petrolatum and flavoring so it is very safe.  We often administer it
as a "treat" to some of our more "gastronomically adventurous" ferrets.
