As another data point, we've had ferrets develop a prolapsed rectum when their food is changed (for example, going from the farm/breeder/pet store to your home). If this is the case, it usually clears up in a week or two, and the ferret *shouldn't* be bothered by it too much. Nice name for your ferret, Scott; our oldest is named Mojo as well...... -- Jeff Jones [log in to unmask] Me?
