Today i found a little insect in my hamsters food (I think its a Wheat Weevil). I have a russian dwarf hamster. I cleaned his cage and trew away his food. If my hamster ate some of them, does he get sick?
A baby fledgling I found near my house can't seem to find his/her parents... What should I feed it considering I have no experience in feeding. P.S. I fed it some flour paste and he/she opened his/her mouth without any effort.
I've been happily using Swheat Scoop for quite a while and have loved it, until all of a sudden I noticed weird, nasty little bugs in my apartment, especially in/ around my ferret's litter. A little searching and it turns out they are wheat weevils and are not uncommon for Swheat Scoop users.
Needless to say, I need a new litter. Suggestions, please! (Btw, I have tried Feline Pine and newspaper-based litters before and did not like them for a variety of reasons, so please don't suggest those.)
I should also mention that my two ferrets live in a Martin Ferret Penthouse and the lowest level is entirely reserved for their bathroom. The poop/pee falls through the floor to a slide-out litter pan that spans the entire bottom of the cage, so they never actually come in contact with the litter. I prefer clumping litter since it's such a large litter pan.
Tl,dr: please share your recommendations for a non-wheat litter for a sub-floor litter pan, preferably clumping (my ferrets will never come in direct contact with it).
Thank you!
edit: why was this downvoted? finding bugs in my fuzzy babies' litter is upsetting enough and I only want help!
Do your worst!
I've been living in the west of Ireland my whole life and I used to see many weevils roaming about doing as they please.
At this time I was living on wet grazing lands very near the sea, as in a short jaunt away . But now... Now I live in the mountains near small bogs and a grazing valley for farm animals with a creek running through. But I'm afraid to report a severe lack of weevil. I have not seen one in three damn years since moving here. Which i don't get because its considerably dryer up here.
Maybe they just don't wander off root, through my garden. Who knows, the gnome might eat em. :-
My question being, what environments and habits does you average Grain or Wheat Weevil (most common in Ireland) deem comfortable? (-:
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
Pilot on me!!
They’re on standbi
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
“BOOM”?!
