That grains do not belong in a ferret's diet has been shown to be true
in studies. I am not referring to the hypothesis that carbohydrates are
a cause of insulinoma, though. However, in the Fox book, he mentions
studies that were done on ferrets that clearly showed diets containing
grains could be harmful, and cause problems like renal failure, kidney
and bladder stones.
