Hi all, I saw this post and was laughing so hard I think my neighbors might

First, I don't really remember when they stop growing--6 months?  Just a
guess.  What I thought was absolutely funny, was the thought of not having
the responsibility of owning a ferret who eats like a hog!  As we all know,
the mathematical formula for input versus output of a ferret's digestive
tract is: 10 log Vi/R1*R2, or in layman's terms, the output is
approximately 20 times greater than that of what went in, and with an
adjusted exponential increase of said output during play time, of course.
 
Dooks to all,
Chris
