Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Diarrhea

It may still be the food. Every fuzzy is different,
just like children. Give it a little more time.
Perhaps he still will not like the food you give. I
have tried different foods to see what they will eat,
as well as what will work in their little systems. I
use Mazuri, it keeps their stool in good form and
color.
Also, to note, if they are young, it takes them awhile
to adjust to their surroundings as well as the change
in food.
Have Fun!! They're wonderful additions to any
household.
