Catching up on mail and read a note from Chris? about human milk... Human milk
isn't good for non-human babies (baboons and chimpanzees might do okay but not
much else). It is LOW in protein and high in carbohydrates.
                 % solid    fat    protein   carbohydrates
         Ferret    23.5      34      25.5        16.2
         Human     12.4      33       7          55
         Cow       12.4      30      26          37
         Goat      12.0      32      22          39
 
Also stay away from human milk replacers (ie. enfamil) because of the iron cont
ent. Rough on the GI tract.
