To Ian Lynn on the subject of raisins: Ian - we too have a ferret that will gorge on raisins. But six is a bit much for any ferret. Raisins are not easy for a ferret to digest 0 they are all fiber. Everything in moderation - one a day is plenty. If your ferret has a habit of swallowing them without chewing - do what we do for Yogi- cut them into small pieces. Then one raisin can last a whole lot longer. Concerning the proper dose of Laxa-Stat: Your instincts were right here. I always start with some of these preparations when I'm thinking impaction. One inch twice daily is a good dose. These products, being flavored petrolatum, are non-toxic, but too much will cause diarrhea.
