Ok, for the easily offended or faint of heart, STOP READING RIGHT NOW. Ok, for the rest of you, I have a kinda gross question. But I really want to know, so. Do ferrets normally, um, ah, pass wind? I've had them a short 3 years next august and have never heard it before. I happened to be in the playroom last night and my tiny little lady "Milly" let fly with a whopper a truck driver would be proud of! So if you aren't totally grossed out can you tell me if this is normal? I recently added a new kind of food to their normal mix, could that cause it? Is it anything to worry about? I do know that dogs "do it" but some how I expected that if ferrets (who are so very much like short, smart cats) did "do it" it would be quiet and not noticeable, like a cat.
