last one looks like it's bird seedy. Improvement over the second one. Never seen a gray one, ever. Green, yeah. How's his hydration now?
When we fed Evo, everyone had seedy poop, like the last one without so much mucous.

Just popping by to see how the situation is going.
By the way, if you don't have money for vet visits you can talk with your vet on the phone or work out a payment plan. The vet I worked with in the clinic would work out weekly/monthly payment plans with clients who didn't have much money, here in Spain with all the crisis going on, people are very very poor. Maybe you could talk to a vet you know about payment plans if you have any future emergencies, just to make sure that it is an option!
I'm no expert in ferret poops, but so far they all look very weird to me xDD I haven't seen a gray one ever, not even in the clinic with sick ferrets. I hope your little one gets better.

Checked this morning poop looks normal! I moistened his food with water and I'm wondering if that didn't help? The last one (picture posted) was the color of his food but mucus. Could the dry kibble been hurting his tummy?

could this be from changing kibble from Purina to natures variety, did you mix old kibble with new one to transition him slowly. This could be his body reacting to the switch?
is he eating anything other than NV kibble, any treats, Egg, or oil?

This could be his body reacting to the switch? is he eating anything other than NV kibble, any treats, Egg, or oil? I transistioned him slowly. He just went to straight natures instinct last week so it very well might be him reacting to it. But he got to where he would eat the natures instinct and not the purina so I figured he was ready. I gave him egg five days ago and oil two days ago. But like I said I made it wet with water and his poop was totally normal. Not even seedy! I noticed yesterday when I did the water test thing to look for fur there was quit a lot of hard kibble. And I don't think that would feel to great comin out. :-( so to keep him hydrated with the heat and to help with digestion I put water in the kibble and this morning.... Bam! Great poops from Mr. Loki! I will monitor his poops throughout the day and I'm hoping this is the answer. He hasn't had a good poop like he did this morning in a month. They've all been seedy and dry.

kibble ferrets generally do not drink enough even in the the least extreme temps.
They just drink enough to kill their thirst.
you may have to keep up with the wet food until the heat passes. Bad part is that the food can't sit out in the cage all day like when it is dry.
Does he like to play in water, will he play in the bath tub. This will both keep him cool and will give him more opportunity to drink. Sometimes they just will drink some other liquids. I have given mine the chicken juice or beef juice from meat this will help with hydration.
I did not see any grey poops in the pics you posted either.

Why would his poop look like this? From shedding? This has been in there a bit and is slightly dried out from just sitting in there. This grey poop. You posted it before the orange poop. Is it simply the computer changing the color? This poop is what everyone was talking about.

just looks like dried regular poop to me. Might be reflecting some of the blue off the literbox.

Probably a reflection as MSAV said off the blue or just combo of variety of foods he is eating and oil .
I would not worry about it .
