Jeff, what a fabulous post. Chock full of accurate information for newer owners, and a great, great reminder for veteran owners like myself. For as long as I could remember I have administered Ferretlax to my ferrets regularly. But oddly, I drifted away from that. Literally forgotten all about that in the last couple of years. Its so odd that could happen! I wanted to add that pure petroleum jelly is basically Ferretlax just less tasty and cheaper. Crazy enough as it sounds, many ferrets enjoy it. Wolfy [Posted in FML 7558]
