Hi, I have a question.  Having recently become a multi-ferret owner, I
was wondering if having free run of the house could cause weight loss.  I
have 3 that retire to different drawers for sleeping and they are not too
concerned about returning for to the cages for food every 2-3 hours.  And
1 total whacky guy who just runs and runs.  They seem to have lost weight
since they are here and I am wondering if it is because they are not caged
for 12hrs a day and are not as interested in eating ..  They look fine and
are very lively and alert.  I would appreciate any comments on whether this
is a good practice.  They are so good and someone is here all day so I
would prefer to let them "run".  Thanks for any comments.
 
Regards,
Carol
