Are you feeding this guy the brand of food he has been eating. Some ferrets
will not change foods readily and need to be tricked by slowy mixing new
food into the old. If you are feeding the same food then it could be stress
related from change in location etc. A visit to the vet is also in order.
Good luck

> I resently rescued 2, 5 yr old ferrets.. One in which is now not
eatting..He is drinking... he sniffs the food like he is intrested but
doesn't eat anything I have put him in his own cage to see if he eats &
poos.. I have been giveing him duck soup with veal & water. and he eats
it..I did notice a bit of dark yellow tarter on his teeth..and his gums
aren't as pink as my 5 month old ferret, So I was wondering if u have any
sugestions what it might be?
