My limited experience is different than Sukie's.  I have owned eight
fuzzies over the past five years.  Only one of the ferrets has gotten
adrenal disease.  Yep, she is a Marshall Farms and the only MF I own.
She had her surgery at three years of age.  I admit my sample is very
small but she is the only young ferret to get sick.  My only death was
from an adopted six year old who had cancer.
 
Just my $0.02.
