Hi All, My first question is why do ferrets drink thier own urine. I have a
23 year old female, I noticed her licking it up. Then just now I notived my
4.5 year old male doing the same thing.. Is there something they are
missing in there diet? I maintain a clean enviorment (as much as possible)
and make sure they have plenty of water and food. I feed them purina
cat/kitten chow, ( they wont eat iam's, and throw up Science Diet and
Nutrient)
The next is dry skin. I noticed that the seem to itch alot, no fleas and
they are bathed 1 a week. It is very dry here, so I am assumeing its the
dryness theat causes them to itch.. any Ideas?
PJ's.... hmmm, browsing throught the letter's I noticed Pj's, my male
(above) was purchased from pj's, and I must admit, I have no problem with
him. He is an excellent animal (not that they have anything to do with the
upbrnging) but his temperment is great, I have 6 ferrets, and he is extremly
well tempered compared to the others....But I thnk this problem of ferret
handling at store is well the same everywhere, the places I have seem are
underinformed, cages suck, etc.... hmmm to bad we cant stop the selling to
ferrets at stores, and leave it = to the proper people to handle it..
Just my thought.....
