Danee, do you recall if it was ever addressed whether insect exoskeleton segments might
help move things from the stomach"

Also, in relation to the stomach (and furballs in this case) were the differences between rabbit
fur (which breaks more easily into tiny pieces if I recall right from past discussions -- and I
might not so people should definitely check on that) and ingested fur of short length (mouse,
for instance) compared to other fur types in how they might behave in the stomach?

Finally, how rapidly is skin digested? Does fur ingested with skin remain attached to skin
pieces and move through more easily as a result?

I realize that it may be that none of these may have been addressed but am curious.
