THEY ARE DARK BROWN AT TIMES BUT NOT BLACK AND GRAINY ALL THE TIME BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD CALL IT BIRDSEED LOOKING. THERE IS A LITTLE CLEAR MUCUS SOMETIMES

HE SLEEPS ALOT MORE THAN MY OTHER FERRET THAT IS ABOUT HIS SAME AGE. HE PLOPS DOWN ALOT ESPECIALLY AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF HECTIC PLAY. BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME THEN HE GOES RIGHT BACK TO PLAY. HE SEEMS TO BE ALERT DURING THESE TIMES NO SPACING OUT.
HE DOES SNEEZE ALOT MORE THAN MY OTHER FERRET

THE LICKING IS CONSTANT I NOTICE IT WHEN I PICK HIM UP OR WHEN HE IS PEEKING OUT FROM UNDER THE COUCH. HE EATS AND SLEEPS FINE. HE HAS HAD THE OCCASIONAL WATERY STOOL WITH THAT GRAINY STUFF WHICH LOOKS LIKE UNDIGESTED KIBBLE NOT LIKE FAT GLOBULES. HE EATS AND DRINKS OFTEN. HE DOES STICK IS NOSE UNDERWATER IN HIS BOWL QUITE OFTEN I GUESS HE COULD HAVE ASPIRATED SOME WATER
