I haven't seen any diarrhea. She had a bowel movement this morning
before I took her in, and it was normal. I clean the pan once or
twice a day, and haven't seen any there either. The vet called me to
let me know that the tests that they did came back normal. So, this
is a mystery.

I'm beginning to think that it might be their food. I feed them
ferret food exclusively. But I looked a little more closely at the
bag and noticed that it has a 4% fiber content. Could that be the
trouble? I have a whole bag and could mix it to try and switch them
to something with less fiber if necessary. However, neither of the
others are showing these symptoms.

Thanks,
