When I posted my first letter on FHL I didn't realise it was going to be
discussed on so many other lists.
 
I have been feeding my ferrets on raw eggs once or twice a week for the
past 30 year and have not lost a ferret yet, all of my ferrets are living
to 10+ years, my oldest one at the moment is a jill born in the spring of
1990
