    Seems kinda crazy that they’d get obstructions in the first place. How’s stuff even get in there to begin with?

      According to the article, it didn’t, but they didn’t know that when they bought the ferret. The particles weren’t making it through and they didn’t know why, so they employed a ferret to explore the tube. When she made it around, they knew there was no obstruction, and realized they had a different problem.
