    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.

    Mold can also occasionally look like fur.

    It might sound gross, but touch it and smell it.
    If it was undigested and passed, you will smell it, if its mold it will desentigrate when touched. If it smells like mouse then it might have come from a f/t.
    But w/o pics, its all guessing.

    My BP only eats live... When they attack fur comes off.
    I've even fed Quail and baby chicks to mine also, those feathers come off when the birds are attacked. So the samething with mice/rats.

    Or as suggested could be mold. If it is mold.... look close... It will be white with small balls/bubbles attach to the top.
