Hi my name is Linda
My ferret used to eat his bedding when he was young...
I've used Marshall Ferret Lax, and found something in its stools...
After that, he was OK... but he was eating well
Now, i use polar bedding, he likes that a lot, and it's impossible to eat!
I keep his bedding clean too(change it once a week)
You can also add a little bit of water in its food, it's more tasty
If it doesn't work...go to the vet, to have Xray maybe it's a intestinal
blocage
Hope, everything will de OK
