Looks like ferret math is hitting our home. If he is still available Wednesday morning (my next day off) Slinky is going to get a playmate! There is a one-year-old sable in a local animal shelter. Actually it's about an hour and a half away but in Texas that's still considered 'local'. ; ) This raises a question for the multiple ferret owners in the crowd. I plan to keep both in a dedicated ferret room. Slinky's stool output has dropped off considerably. If the hairball medicine doesn't work today it's off to the vet tomorrow. Monitoring stool and urine output and food intake is necessary to detect certain problems. With multiple, non-caged ferrets, how do you keep track of things like this?
