Subject: healthy diet with less waste
I just got a new 9 week old neutered male ferret. He seems very
healthy, and is an enthuiastic eater. I am feeding him Kaytee's
Forti-diet, as this is what he was eatting at the store I purchased
him at. He has definately developed a pot belly in the week we have
had him. Through focused attention and rewards he is also finally
kitty liter trained in his cage.
My question is, he seems to have bowel movements much more often than
my previous ferrets. Even when we wake him, let him use the litter
pan, reward him for a job well done and then let him out to play, he
seems to need to go again with in a few minutes. Also, we need to
change the corner litter pan after less than a day of use. I wondered
if you all had a opinion on a more digestible food I might try that
would help me. (to put a finer point on this, it's not consistancy
but mass!!!)
I have enjoyed reading your notes to each other in the past weeks as I
anticipated Reilly's arrival, and would like to compliment you all on
a nuturing and enthusiastic forum.
Thanks
