Kipling was right about Mongooses being eaten alive by curiosity.

BITE YOU!!! It is Cute as the Dickens! Wish I had one? Reminds me of my pet mink! I miss my BAD BOYS!! And they were Grey too, just like your Beautiful Mongoose. Not proud of how they ended up, though. You live & learn... You Hawaiians are sooo Lucky! The ONLY mongoose we can have on the mainland is the less attractive Cusimanse.

I also had a pet mongoose named Kiwi in Kaneohe Hawaii. One of my cats killed its whole family when it was a baby. I got rid of the cat an raised the mongoose w/7 kittens. My next door neighbor ended up stealing it cause it was tame.. Yet it did eat his fighting chickens.

@Punnabi I agree with you that most of plastics are not digested. However, it's not the main reason why they shouldn't be eaten. Toxic compounds inside them is. By the way, cellulose is also not digested, but you can get poisoned by eating certain paper (almost pure cellulose), but never poisoned by eating fruits and vegetables (which consist of cellulose by >50% by dry mass).

Don't let your pets eat ANY plastics the source of which you don't know.

Only medical plastics are certified for safety. Styrofoam, in particular, is considered TOXIC, because it breaks down to toxic products (styrol) in time and/or upon heating. That's why every amount of industrial polystyrol always contains some toxic styrol inside. And, by no means, breath in styrofoam (or any other plastic) smoke!
