I stopped at the grocery store and pet store on the way home Saturday. I went into the ferret room, dropped all the bags on the floor, and let the fuzzies out. While I was putting away the ferret things, they snorkled though the bags. Slinky got bored and wandered off, but Toggles emerged - with a thin plastic bag with 2 "heads" of garlic in it! Now, my ferrets don't eat plastic, so I took out the clove I needed for dinner, tied a knot in the bag, and let him have it. It was promptly hidden under the bed, and I told my boyfriend to remind me to get it out later. Well, Monday afternoon, the ferrets were running around the bedroom while the boyfriend (who thinks he is a giant ferret - he even gets fed raisins when he's good. :) and I watched a movie on the couch. When the movie was over, I went in the bedroom to check on the ferrets - only to be nearly knocked over by the smell of garlic! The ferrets were asleep, so I dug under the bed, and pulled out the remains. Toggles had torn a hole in the plastic bag, and had eaten 2 or 3 entire cloves! He's eating and pooping normally, and I can't imagine it making him sick, although he couldn't understand yesterday why I wouldn't let him kiss me - his breath _reeked_ of garlic!
