To the health experts, With all this talk of diet restriction and fat ferrets, I have the opposite question about Rocky. He is very active (when awake LOL) but doesn't like to eat very much, though I have tried all kinds of food (and he won't eat meat in any form). Rocky is 17 in. long; about 23 including the tail. The last time he was at the vet he was 2 lbs. He lost 2 oz. after I took in a rescue, which upset him so much. Though he is not emaciated, I can easily feel his spine and rib cage. His legs are short and stocky and he's a great jumper. I don't think he has put on any winter weight, as he did last year when he was about 8 months in December. He eats 2 or 3 times in 24 hours. Often I have to coax him to eat. He was a great eater as a kit, and not at all finnicky, until I took in the other ferret (who didn't stay). What I want to know is, does he eat enough? Is he too thin? I feed him Totally Ferret mixed with Zupreem, he gets some meat-based treats, a bit of ferretone as a reward and a little Ferretvite. As he is my first and only ferret, I worry about his health a lot. Thanks, Shron [Posted in FML issue 3972]
