In regard to Kelly's question on colored poop. I am wondering if "Brown's" is the same company that makes a treat that came with one of my adoptees. This particular treat is called "Fruit Bites", and stated clearly on the outside of the package is, "A Great Treat for Birds and Small Animals From Parrots to Ferrets". The front of the package is decorated with pictures of delicious looking fruit. The ingredients are papaya, sugar, sulphur dioxide and artifical color. The company that manufactures it is: F.M. Brown's Sins Inc. Sinking Spring, PA 19608 Their consumer Help line is 1-800-334-8816 ext.64. Am I out of line to think that writing or calling this company is in order? I am no purist, as my kids get a tiny bite of banana every now and then, but it seems to me that this kind of advertising is potentially harmful to our little fuzzbutts.
