Since your ferret has been having abnormal stool for quite some time now I would recommend taking him to the vet to be examined and having a fecal sample checked. Your ferret may have parasites, irritable/inflammatory bowel disease, a forgein body or some other issue going on. Continue to feed him a bland diet until you can get him checked out. I would also recommend weighing him weekly to make sure he is not losing weight. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
