I don't want to start a rumor but I've read where several other ferret owners are having the same symptoms as Roulette had, Diarrhea, not eating or drinking. At first I was thinking that maybe the new bag of Totally Ferret Food(I ordered it from Jeffers) might be the culprit? But my other three ferrets are fine. Maybe the flu that is going around humans is affecting ferrets with diarrhea and lack of interest in food. Roulette is much better now eating and gaining some weight back. He doesn't even hate me for forcing the food, water and nasty med on him. In fact yesterday he scratched at my pant leg until I picked him up. I also wanted to include my experience ordering from Jeffers on-line. My order came in 6 different shipments I had to call 3-4 times for missing items, My 30Lb bag of Totally ferret only had a five month expiration on it. I never received an apology or anything free, I was even over charged on everyone of the sale items. So, if Petco offered an apology I think that makes them a great company. Here in Rockford, Petco takes great care of their baby ferrets. Every once in a while I stop in for a baby fix. But... my next ferret will be another older one. I wish you all well, Angela [Posted in FML issue 2860]
