I would like to respond to some postings I have read regarding ferret diets. I recently took "Sandy" (6 yr old female, spade and descented) to the vet for a check up. I was amazed at the news I received from the vet. She said that "Sandy" was the healthiest 6 yr old female she had ever seen. Much of it is due to lots of prayer, but her diet has been the same from the day I got her when she was only a few months old. Frieskies Special Diet cat food & Purina tarter control Whisker Lickin's cat treats and water of course. This is her total diet. Food out 24 hrs a day and about 5 treats a day. An occasional lick of ice cream or a small taste of "human food" every now and again, but thats it. The vet was amazed at how healthy her teeth and fur were also. I have never had one signal health problem with her "praised God". I don't claim this to be some sort of miracle diet. The vet has asked me to clip out the ingredient labels so she can see what is in them. Just thought I would share this with you. Hugs to all of yours.. Russ & "Sandy" [Posted in FML issue 3486]
