That 5000 I.U. in my multivitamin tablets is the minimum daily requirement established for a human, but certainly is not the most you can take. What I was trying to say was, in the absence of better knowledge, go with the label instructions and give your ferret 3/4 tsp of Ferretone a day. -- Russ, Booger, Bonnie & Clyde [log in to unmask] URA Redneck if your mail box is made out of old auto parts.
