Hi Lindy!
 
One of mine (Ferris) eats crickets, too.  <ick!>  The other two won't
touch them other than to stare curiously.
 
What I found interesting was your comment about Oscar not eating any
other treats.  I've only found one treat that Binky will eat - and
that's bananas.  She's a fiend for those!   I wonder if there's
something to that - since Oscar and Binky were littermates :->

There has been lots of food discussion - and several brands/types
mentioned.  I went to a frolic a while back - and there was a vet
that gave a presentation on the care of ferrets in general - but
spent a good bit of time on geriatric care.  (Sorry I can't remember
his name.  He's in the Ft. Worth, TX area.  I can probably get it
if there is interest.)  At any rate - the food he recommended for
ferrets after their first 18 months was Science Diet C/D.  I've not
seen anyone else mention that particular food.  I feed this to my
20 year old cat.  Anyone have any thoughts/comments on that particular
food?
