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 [Posted in FML issue 3009]
