>Subject: Runny poops >Has anyone had any problem with their ferrets getting runny poops from >eating treats? YES!!!! My husband and I are trying to figure out who keeps getting the runny poops and from what! We are very wishy-washy when we see their cute little faces looking up at us just begging for that little extra great tasting treat! We're suckers!!!!!!! We use 8n1 chicken treats and sometimes Fruit Frenzy, and we run across those poops when we give them too much. We have monitored their poops and treats and when we decrease the treats to only 1 treat per day each, they are fine. When we indulge them, it creates runny poops! The hairball rememdy we use is Laxatone or Ferret Lax. We always used Laxatone, and when we couldn't find it one day we tried Ferret Lax and used that for a few months. It seemed to have made their poops a little icky also. We just switched back to Laxatone which will hopefully be delivered today from our favorite place "The Ferret Store" -- and we'll see what happens with their poops then too. But I guess what we have learned is just to make sure it is all balanced out and things should be fine. Hope this helps! Did anyone else try anything else? Dooks!
