I simply love posting such a great subject, but my vet is very new to the ferret business. I have a rescue (we've had for 1 month), and her fecal matter seems almost foamy. She was eating cheap cat food, and is now eating IAM kitten chow. My ferrets dislike ferret food, so they eat the kitten chow. Her former owners didn't give her much attention and she was all alone for 2 1/2 years. She is now getting a great deal of attention and exercise. How long should she take to adjust to the new food? She eats very well and gets lots of fresh water. I put my oldest male sable in with her in her cage and they seem to get along well. The vet said her poop was normal, no excess blood or evidence of ulcers. Should I be concerned? Her fur is so lovely while it was nasty when we got her. Her nails are no longer brittle and she seems in good health. She does tire faster than the other ferrets, but I attribute that to the fact that she had been cage-bound for years. Any thoughts? Thanks for the responses. Cerise Welter The Welter Ferret Shelter Midland/TX e-mail: [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1950]
