Hi All and your not going to like this,- The only thing a ferret gets out of fruit especially dried fruit is lots of sugar, raisins are 70% sugar and very bad for ferret teeth. The ferret gets vertuly no nutritional value from fruit and some dried fruit is a health hazard due to blockages. Kibble fed ferrets are already feed a diet far too high in digestible sugars why pump more poison into them. Just because a certain food is good for us is no reason to inflict it on our ferrets. It seems to me reading your posts that pancreatic and adrenal disorders are rife in US ferrets, even imported stock that has shown no sign of these problems at home are showing signs of the diseases after being house pets for a while. I read some of the more enlightened ferret owners are moving to a diet with less kibble and more cooked meat ( the gravies and soup recipes ) and finding their ferrets seem healthier for it. I think a reappraisal of the ferret's diet / treats is long over-due. Comments from the more experienced ferret owners / breeders would be appreciated. Chris. P.S. I'm too old and senile to be bothered by flames but I do like reading them. Why I feed very little kibble http://www.btinternet.com/~chris.lloyd2/feeding_ferrets.htm [Posted in FML issue 3202]
