I was told that feeding dogs raw meat caused stomach problems and possible
parasite infections.  This is less common in cats I hear who often eat the
rats and mice they catch.  Just to be safe, I would not feed any ferret, cat
or dog raw *anything*.  You never know what it may do, and it is better to
be safe than have to rush a beloved fuzzy to the vets'.
Selena Simonetti          "Our Spanish Court Riding School is a tiny
[log in to unmask]           candle in the big world.  Our duty our
                           privilege is to keep it burning.  If we
                           can send out one beam of splendor, of glory
                           of elegance into this torn and troubled world,
                           that is worth a man's life."
