Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe ferret canine teeth are not
supposed to wear down. *Rodent* teeth need to be worn down as they are
constantly growing, but ferrets--like cats and dogs--are carnivores and
their teeth are supposed to stay the same length.
If your ferret is having difficulty eating, I would look for another cause.
(or am I missing something here?)
