Tim Williamson asked: >Does anyone know of anything that can cause a ferret to pass large amounts >of mucus in its stool? It's a pretty non-specific sign which generally indicates some kind of intestinal distress, if I recall correctly from when our ferrets had a bout of it. A vet might suggest a fecal check for parasites, and perhaps a course of Albon just in case there's some infection going on. The change of food you mentioned could also be responsible, in which case if the problem doesn't clear up in another couple of days, you might try switching back to see if that fixes it. Donna Austin asked: >Can anyone please e-mail me personally with sources for ferret clipart. (I also emailed her this response, but in case anyone else is interested...) Links to some ferret clipart sources are available at Ferret Central, at http://www.optics.rochester.edu:8080/users/pgreene/central.html#games In particular, it links to the Oregon Ferret Association's site at http://www.teleport.com/%7Eleonard/ofa/resources/clipart.html and Bob Nixon's FTP site at ftp://ftp.primenet.com/users/b/bigrex/Ferret_Clipart/ If anyone knows of other online sources, please let me know by direct email so I can add them.

For best results, use one that he's been sleeping in for a few days, so it smells very much like a bed. >Are ferrets really _that_ finicky, that they'd even snub _roast beef_? Yep. :) Some are; it mostly depends on what they were exposed to as youngsters. -- - Pam Greene Ferret Central <http://www.optics.rochester.edu:8080/users/pgreene/> or ftp://ftp.optics.rochester.edu/pub/pgreene/ or send INDEX FERRET in email to <[log in to unmask]> [Posted in FML issue 2025]
