OK, Rico just ate about 1/3 cup of food and then pooped the same as
the last time -- mushy and including undigested food, and kind of
chicken-meat colored -- this has become their usual stool color.
Doesn't this sem like an excessive amout of food? He is an average
sized Marshall ferret -- a couple of pounds before all this down and
up weight. He now seems to eat a similar amount several times a day.
I'll monitor it. The amount has increased a lot in the last couple
of days.
The food is based on chicken gravy but it's not liquid -- a medium-
sized chicken (or two tiny chickens --depends on where we buy them)
is pressure-cooked and then gound w most of its organs, its eggs-in-
process and some of its bones; 1/2 cup beef fat, a Tblsp honey, a
Tblsp olive oil, but no bran.
