It is definitely something to keep a close eye on but I don't know if I would be overly concerned just yet unless he is showing other symptoms of illness (like vomiting, not eating, lethargy, etc). If all else is OK I suggest you start Bilbo on a probiotic to see if that will help. https://petvaluemart.com/digestive-enzymes/111-purina-fortiflora.html?search_query=fortiflora&results=1 Also, be sure you are feeding him a high quality diet like Marshalls or Zupreem. http://www.ferretdepot.com/food-!%60-nutrition/ferret-food/ And don't feed any treats unless they are labeled for ferrets: http://www.ferretdepot.com/toys-!%60-treats/ferret-treats/ If the mucus persists despite these changes then I suggest you get him to your vet for an exam. Hope this helps!
