Hi guys, I have a question about my ferrets. I have five ferrets ages 2-5 and they recently were allowed back in their room after earmites. Today I found a puddle of liquid by the barrier on the plastic carpet runner. It looked and wiped up just like coffee. I have absolutly no idea what it could be. I checked all the ferrets ears, mouth and butt for the liquid but found none. The room is totally ferret-proofed, but I looked around anyway: nothing. I haven't given them anything different today. No on has been acting weird lately. I have found a few piles of runny, mucousy poop but I thought it might've been stress-related with the excitment of a 'new' room. It looks like the mucousy poops might be ECE but I'm not positve. Other than those piles, nothing, absolutly nothing is out of the norm with my guys (and girl). Has anybody got a clue as to what this mystery substance was?? (It didn't look like a runny poo, it was total liquid, just like coffee or tea.) Thanks so much Please help if you can! Krista PS: I noticed the fluid glittered on the paper towel and I remember that earwax somtimes glittered but I checked the ears, no fluid. I haven't put anything in them today either.)
