Ok, this has me totally baffelled. All five of my guys have stopped eating. I normally give them one scoop of food a day and they eat it when they're hungry. It's a mix of three different kinds of food that they all pick out thier favorite from. I noticed about 4 days ago that there didn't seem to be much gone from the food dish. I added more anyway because they do occasionally skip a day when it's really hot out. Day three I was sure no food had been taken from the dish so I dumped it out and got all new food. I keep a months worth in a large sealed bin, so I checked to make sure it wasn't moldy or wet or anything. It appears to be fine. It is the 5th day and they still don't seem to be eating. I offered food from my hand which usually works, but they wouldn't take it. I do know that all five of them hide food, so I assume they are eating thier stashes. They are all acting just fine and not loosing any wieght. They aren't interested in treats or ferretvite either. I would normally assume that some one was sick if they stopped eating, but this is all five (the entire business) at the same time. I am currently flat broke, so I'm off to buy new food bags with my credit card! This is the only thing I can think of to do. Seems ridiculous to have to break into the emergency fund to replace food that seems ok to me. But ferrets come first so off I go. If anyone has any ideas what would cause all five babies to go off thier food at the same time I really could use some ideas. The only thing I can think of that changed is that I took them out for the day so I could flea bomb. But I took all the cages/bedding/food/and ferret stuff in general outside. I wonder if it could be the heat? (no A/C, but they have a personal ferret pool to cool off in that they use). Shelley [Posted in FML issue 4582]
