Geeze Koda, why don't you just eat the Ferret Nation cage next time you're hungry.

Now I feel even worse and am panicking... I feel like such a horrible ferrent... I found all four of my daughters sippy cups in the closet, straws chewed to bits. I've seen everyone eat and all but Jude go potty. Zoeys poo looks runny, I'm about to dissect it.

Yup theres sippy cup pieces in Zoeys poo. I found where they stashed them, found pieces on the carpet and found pieces in her poo. I dissected the other poos, all normal. Her poo was rubbery like Jello consistency. Plastic pieces were inside and were green colored mucus around them. I'm so worried =[ She is eating drinking and playing fine, so are the others. I've seen everyone eat now, still waiting for Jude to poo.

The stool will be mucous. It irritates the bowel, so mucous is produced to protect it while the foreign object is passing through. Just keep pushing the pumpkin and vas. For now. Normally I'd not recommend Vaseline, but it's the lesser of two evils until you know everyone is in the clear. And don't feel like a bad ferrent! Blockage is a major hazard for all ferrets, no matter how closely you watch! We still aren't certain where Lucrezia got the foam from that caused her blockage. We think it was carpet backing, but can't be sure

Zoey is doing good, she's eating, sleeping, drinking, and has pooped once. I'm watching everyone closely.
She took the petroleum without any problems. I scruffed her to get her to try then she just wanted more and more.

One good poop down, two to go Even after they've all gone, I'd continue with the pumpkin alone for a couple of days, just to be sure.

Zoey is doing great, she had a normal poop earlier, I dissected it to try and find more bits, but nothing was there, the boys are having normal poo the whole time. They are all playing like it's not a big deal, eating, and drinking.
I'm keeping a close eye on them though, they are only getting 30 min interval playtimes outside of the cage till I figure out where the rest of that spatula is or where it came from or until I have more time to throughly inspect all of Demi's toys and clean the living room all the while Demi trashes it.

Maybe she was the only one who ate it and has now passed it(fingers crossed!). But yeah, keeping an eye on them, and checking everywhere is a good plan. They do like to keep us on our toes, don't they?

Just wanted to update everyone, Zoey and the others are doing great. I'm thinking I might still get an xray done when we go to the vet just to make sure.

That's excellent news And if you still can't account for all the missing bits, it might be safer to do the xray. But talk to your vet first.
