Do baby ferrets smell different than adults? General Dog Discussions
I have a 9week old ferret that I recently adopted, I actually just got her off the truck from a shipment from marshalls at my local pet store. She has a much different musky smell than my other female ferret who is 8 months old. It's almost like.... I am not quite sure how to describe it other than a burnt ferret smell. I know that sounds ridiculous. I just got back from the vet and he told me baby ferrets have a new smell like puppy's or human baby's do, but I wasn't too convinced because he doesn't specialize in ferrets. Also, her poop has a yellowish greenish film on it and I can distinctly tell the difference of her poop verses my adult ferrets poop. Is this because marshalls feed them differently and the diet change is hard on her digestive system? It's not runny, just mushy-er than normal. She acts completely fine and hyper and healthy, the doctor confirmed her health as well. Just wondering. I feed her marshals premium blend, and I put that odor be gone substance from marshals in her water. I also give sprinkle vitamin 8n1 daily supplement on her food. I don't feed her anything other then this, besides the occasional Marshall chicken flavored treat for her training rewards. Thank you
