Ok, silly question time. Just how big should a ferret be? Here's the scenario. Kiki, my first ferret, is about 1.5 y/o. He is lean and muscled but has a pudgy tummy. Brownie, my second ferret is 10 mos younger than Kiki. He is huge! He outweighs Kiki by 2 lbs and is much much bigger. He plays hard, but doesn't seem to have the muscle tone of either of the others. It takes two hands to hold him. He has a roll of fat from his neck to his tail. Then there is Little Bit, my rescue baby and number three. Also only female. She is about the size of the kits I see in the pet store. They all have access to kibble when ever they want it. Brownie doesn't seem to eat more than the others. Little Bit eats more than Brownie and Kiki put together. I feed Iams kitten food about a cup a day for all three. (more if the bowl is empty before bed). So, how big is a ferret supposed to be? How do I get Brownie to shape up with out taking the other ferrets food away? Putting him in a separate cage is not an option. They all three through a major fit. I can't even take just one out with out the others howling, or at least giving me the "sad ferret" eyes. (irresistable). Thanks, Shelley [Posted in FML issue 3952]
