Hello everyone, Let me introduce myself. My name is Jamie and I have two ferrets, Abby(a beautiful dark sable) and Snowflake(a gorgous silver mitt). I have been reading the list for about a month now and just love it! I just have a quick question. I bought Abby at a pet store when she was about 7 weeks old (sweetest thing in the world) and have never had any problems with her eating or pooping (thank god). Two days ago, I purchased Snowflake from a private residence that had to rid of her because she is a biter(that's a topic for another posting :-)) The biting is not a problem for me because I have tons of time to work with her, but I am worried about her eating or lack thereof. My Abby eats like a pig. I have them on Iams Kitten Formula (luckily this is the same thing that Snowflakes previous owners had her on too). But I have yet to even see Snowflake pick a food up to hide much less eat. The girls are exactly the same size but when you pick them up Abby feels like she weighs a ton compared to Snowflake. Snowflake is still pooping, though not as much as Abby, and I see her drinking water throughout the day. She also has tons of energy and a coat as soft as a kitten. The lack of food just really concerns me. It does not seem like the food in there dish has gone down enough for two growing ferrets to have eaten. Maybe I am just being paranoid(new mom syndrome). I would appreciate any thoughts on the matter. Oh- by the way, she is current on all her shots and had a check up this past March. Thanks alot. Jamie, Abby and Snowflake [Posted in FML issue 2029]
