Eating habits?? Behavior??

Ok, so Chewie (my adrenal ferret) used to eat maybe about 1and a half handfuls of food over the course of 12 hours. Now in the last 2 weeks or so he wolfs down 2-3 handfuls in 4-6 hours!! Ecspecially since I started switching him to a raw diet. He is also a poop eater!! Gross!! Is this from adrenal?? Also while we are on the subject of adrenal he has randomly been biting my dad and brother. Not aggressivley or enough to break the skin, but it does leave marks. He just walks over and bites them. He hasn't bitten my mom or I, so is that part of adrenal too? Is it cause my dad and brother are guys and in "Chewies" territory?

It's possible it is due to cold weather comming, ferrets are like bears or squirrels. They try and pack weight on before it gets cold. BUT with the poop eating there could be something else going on, I've never heard of a ferret eating poop.

The biting probably is due to the adrenal, have you taken him to the vet yet?
