charlie nelly1 142 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Does she have raw food? Maybe if the meat has gone off/rotten it maybe making her gipp? Just a thought? Quote Link to post
joe14 98 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Sometimes they just wolf stuff down too fast and they can run round being sick. Just keep an eye on her and if you think shes not eating, pooing or drinking properly then the vets What as she had to eat today. She asnt got any of the dry food stuck in her mouth as she?

longnetter 32 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Often ingesting fur will cause this in ferrets.....I'd take her to your vet Quote Link to post

joe14 98 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 If your using sawdust get rid. Shavings are fine but no sawdust. I would get rid of hay etc and just use clothes and blankets. Wouldnt worry yaself mate on the internet. You can get ferret paste from pets at home, the love it. its about 3 quid. Quote Link to post
