Two days ago I found a piece of aluminum foil in one of the ferrets' droppings, and that worried me quite a bit. Does anyone know if that's particularly harmful? I'm sure it isn't good, though. What bothered me most was that I had no idea at all where it came from. I couldn't think of anything in my room that was made of aluminum foil, so I couldn't figure out what to move out of their reach. Last night I finally found the source. It seems they had stolen a pack of chewing gum out of the pockets of a pair of pants a long time ago, and had hidden it under the dresser. They had been eating the gum, and the foil wrappers along with it. They don't seem at all sick, but is there anything I should do (besides take the gum away, which I already did)? Just a word of warning, don't leave packs of gum where weasels can get them. BTW, my condolences regarding Mocha. I know how much the thought of losing Hershey or Nestle' upsets me, and I feel for your loss. E.S. [Posted in FML issue 0625]
