Hey, everyone!
Sorry to bother y'all again, but I had two things I wanted to share
with the other 740 of you. I wrote a poem, which I call "Our Favorite
Ferrets", and I wanted everyone to see it. I hope this doesn't take up too
much space.
Our Favorite Ferrets
In their curious nature
They dook and they giggle
And I laugh right out loud
As they squirm and they wiggle
When they steal all my socks
And hide all their toys
I burst into chuckles
At the of the noise
I love it when they
Squeak with delight-
They keep me smiling
All day and all night
They dig in my plants
And spill all the water
They're mustelids, you see
Like the skunk and the otter
They make *wonderful* pets
I have no doubt about that
And they'll get along great
With your dog and your cat
But there are too many ferrets
Owner-less and in rescues
So do them a favor
And they'll give you "God bless you's!"
So, in closing this poem
To everyone, I say
Adopt a ferret right now
Hurry up! Don't delay!

And, my question is:
I read in Deborah Jeans' book "A Practical Guide To Ferret
Care", and I quote"
". . .older ferrets need a high-quality dry adult . .
. cat/ferret food because research veterinarians feel that excess disease
protein may lead to helth problems, such as kidney disease. . ."
Is this true? *CAN* excess protein cause kidney failure? I don't
want to kill off my "baby" from feeding her too much protein. Help, someone?
I am feeding Rascal IAMS Kitten Food (purple carton) right now, but I plan to
switch to Totally Ferret when she gets older. Like I said in my first post,
Rascal is 8 mos., 1.5 lbs, and a Marshall Farms Ferret. Also, she had a very
loose, greenish, mucus-like stool earlier. Is this from being in a new
environment, or should I be worried (she's only been with us for a day)?
Any more comments would be appreciated :). So sorry to take up so
much space again.

Rascal (major sock overload)
