Hi guys--
I've been reading the FML for sometime, but this is my first post. I
just wanted to tell you about my odd ferret-Gizmo. We found him in our
backyard, about a year ago, when he was about four months old. We found out
later he most likely got there through our neighbors yard-they have two very
large chows. But to get to the odd part about Giz-he is a vegetarian.
Don't laugh, he is probably just worried about his cholesterol. He will not
eat meat or meat flavored treats, although he did eat a cockroach. He
stalked it and tore it limb from limb, not a pretty picture. So, I guess he
has a carnivorous instincts, he craves the hunt. But, I guess he has to
think of his arteries first. He eats Mazuri, so he probably does not need
extra protien, but I love to give him treats, and marshmallows have too much
sugar. Any high protien, vegetarian treat suggestions would be appreciated.
He doesn't like peanut butter either, he got ahold of a glob and almost
choked, now he won't touch the stuff, odd. He also won't eat eggs and milk
products, I think one to many knocks on the head. Anyway, thanks--Maria.
