Well I am puzzled! My oldest ferret Sox has recently been eating his toy socks. They love to stash them so I tie knots in old socks and give them to the ferrets to hide, as I am sure many ferret owners do. When he comes out to play he will sit and chew them at the knot until they are wet and pulled apart, I caught him in the act today again. I am not sure if he is actually eating them or just destroying them but I thought that this is a strange behavior. Anyone else had this problem? I don't know what to think. 
Thanks,
Ashley

| It is not unusual for ferrets to "destroy" things. It's all fun and games to them. Sounds like he doesn't want that knot there! Try giving him a sock without a knot. It is possible he may be digesting some fibers that could lead to a blockage requiring surgery, I can't be sure not being there. Naturals fibers are supposed to be digestable, polyester, rayon, and such are not. It's your call.
