>From: Anonymous Poster <[log in to unmask]> > >James, Ferret vite is not a laxative.. it's a vitamin supplement that helps stimulate appetite and increases weight gain. You should get laxatone for hairball remedies. That works well. Also, if you want to learn more about ferrets, there is a great book out called "Ferrets for Dummies" by Kim Schilling.. you can find it on Amazon.com or I've even see them on ebay or at pet stores. As far as litter I'm not sure what Marshall litter has in it but I use yesterdays news.. seems to work good and my ferrets don't play in it. Just as long as you don't use any cedar or pine - wood chips litter because that can cause respiratory problems. Also, if you don't already know they love ferretone as a treat and it's good for their coat helps to promote healthy skin and fur.. (I usually add olive oil to make it last longer) and you can do almost anything like cut their nails clean their ears while giving them the ferretone. Hope some of this helps you out.....
