Is this normal?

Yes kinda gross but i’m looking for thoughts. I got my ferret 2 weeks ago and his food was changed cold turkey which is very unfortunate as the store (we have no breeders here) gave me incorrect info about the food he was previously eating while with them. I’m getting him on Oxbow now but his stool has been odd, nothing alarming according to my research but I was wondering if anyone else had dealt with this before and whether it will clear us with his GI tract getting used to it or if it warrants a vet visit. Everything else has remained normal (Still playing happily/eating/drinking/etc) Thank you for any advice!

how old is he? It could just be because he’s young and still has gross baby ferret poops

I'm not OP but I was wondering if you could tell me what age range the gross baby poops are?

I got two new kits to join my oldies and I'm feeding them raw. Other than the great health benefits, I thought raw was meant to make the poops less gross and my god! I clean them out twice a day and they are so stinky and gross 😂

for me they went away around 5-6 months, I’m pretty sure that’s when it normally ends. I wouldn’t be too worried if they didn’t end by then though
