I certainly don't want to question Patricia Curtis' sincerity, but I find
this statement hard to believe:
>"Any vegetable matter that ferrets eat has the potential to cause serious
>health risks/problems."
And this
>"Animals are not like humans in that they need variety in their diet to
>stimulate interest in food" - flies in the face of my own experience.
Like just about every owner, I love my woozels to distraction, and posts
such as Patricia's make me feel insecure and afraid that I may be
inadvertently harming my dookers. But Patricia obviously has conviction,
here, and I'm sure ferret's best interest at heart.
The last thing we want is a flame war or a zillion unsupported opinions.
Even vet stuff I've read seems incongruent on some food issues. I guess I'm
asking, IS there a "conventional wisdom" on a varied diet? Boofer wants to
know. She has a vested interest in cantelope.
