Hope I'm not tempting fate here.
 
In my 12 years of ferret ownership, I've had 22 ferrets.  My current group
of ferrets range from 4.5 to 8.3 years old.  I've fed a blend of Iam's Lamb
and Rice along with Totally Ferret, Eukanuba, and Precise or Innova for
many years.  I have *NEVER* had to treat a ferret for insulinoma.  My vet
told me that based on his experience, he would expect me to have seen about
1/3 (7) of my ferrets with insulinoma.
