Subject: Re: Can any one help? Smelly ferret poop
New baby eating Marshals ferret food. His poop did smell that way the
first day I got him. The ferrets were not put in the same cage.
Since the other one passed away I put him in the bigger cage, I did
bleach it and wash the old bedding before putting him in the new cage.
