Okay, things are better. I talked to the breeder I bought the ferret from, and her kits are always eating their bedding. She said she has never had a problem with blockage... Well lucky her, but I am taking precautions. I found everything she was eating, so hopefully now that those things are no longer around, she'll break the habit. Is cotton a really major problem, or something you usually can get away with, and a rare occurance to have a problem? Regardless... Stuff is not getting any. Rare or not is too much of a risk. Hope all your friends are well, Nathan, the new parent Stuff, cotton eating ferret [Posted in FML issue 1216]
