Hi, again, I think the mystery of the seedy salmon-colored stools has been solved. (Don't you hate people that answer their own posts?) I was sitting on the couch last night, and dropped the TV remote behind the cushion. When I picked up the cushion, there at the back of the couch was the partially-eaten culprit: a "Boston Baked Bean". They are my favorite candy (for those readers not from the US, a Boston Baked Bean is a peanut covered with a layer of red-brown crunchy-chewy sugar candy.) I am surmising that peanuts, being exceedingly hard to digest, make it all the way through a fuzzbutt with little digestive change besides chewing. Anyone out there know of ferrets that like to eat peanuts? Judging by what I saw, they can't be too good for the little critters (but since when did that stop a ferret from eating something?) I certainly don't need any ferrets on a sugar-high, so I'll have to be more careful when I eat the Boston Baked Beans, to make sure I don't drop any. Sorry for overreacting and worrying, but if it had been something medical... (And sorry for the gross bits!) Cheers, all, Eric, Murphy and Boo-Boo (Love those sweet, crunchy, nutty new treats, daddy!) [Posted in FML issue 1593]
