Question:

Male ferret doesn't seem to be eating but developed new habit?

I have a 2.5 yr old male ferret and he's my little baby boy, I spoil him rotten lolAnyway I've noticed it appears he's lost a little weightHe doesn't seem to be eating properly but is drinking normally, active and alert and I haven't noticed any issues with his poopBut recently I have noticed he's getting into the habit of excessively chewing on his hammock and blanket, and I mean he spends nearly ALL of his time awake just chewing away but hardly ever eats! I'm very concerned and thinking of calling the vetAny other suggestions in the meantime? Thank you!

Answer:

CHI or ghd .i have REALLY thick and curly hair and this always works besti love mine!
Remington makes great hair straighteners that don't cost that muchI got mine for 20$ at Target and it works just as good as any chi i've ever hadActually, I've had about 5 Chi's and the LED light kept breaking.
To me it sounds like he isn't getting the proper nutrients he nees so he's trying to get it from other sourcesFood should be at least 35% protein, 20% fat, and have less than 3% fiberAt least 4 of the first six ingredients should be meat so foods like Kaytee or Mazuri aren't going to cut itFerrets aren't rodents, they are carnivores so their teeth do not grow like a rodents doesHe may have tooth pain that finds relief when he chewsCheck his teeth and gums for any rednessIf he doesn't eat anything for a day, definitely get him to a vet, ferrets can drop weight fast If he's ingesting any of the hammock, be sure to give him some laxative so it's easier for the material to pass throughYou don't want him to get a blockageYou can give Ferretlax, plain Vaseline, plain unseasoned canned pumpkin, or squash (plain) baby food.
If your looking for a better one, dont look for name brand because just because their name brand doesnt mean thy work betterjust look for one that has a higher temp(:
