I'm keeping a close eye on my ferrets for now, but I have recently found a pencil missing an eraser and what look like chew marks. That was a couple of days ago...Ramona seems to be fine, pooping up a storm as usual. Mimi is worrying me, though. She hasn't shown any of the telltale signs of blockage, except her pooping does seem to be rought with occasional bouts of constapation (but she always had trouble going while someone was watching, so I don't know if she's okay or not). Other than that everything seems to be normal, both are still happy and playful and packing the food down at every opportunity. If I should need to get them to a vet, does anyone know of a good one near the Savannah, GA area? Also...Big Mimi and Ramona's best friend Joe-Joe has passed over the rainbow bridge after six years of being king of the dust bunnies and ruler of unopened packages of socks, we'll all miss him.
