Good Morning All, Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was BEAUTIFUL :-) My Thoughts and Prayers go out to all those who have recently lost a Fuzzie or animal, and to all those Fuzzie's and animal's who are sick or homeless. In reply to skinny ferret's I have a Silver Boy (his name is Trouble) he has always been skinny. Trouble is an extremly big eater but never gains any weight. He is also very long. Now he is adrenal and has lost his hair and his ribs show and he looks like a skeleton, but has not lost any weight at all and remains at the same weight. I believe that this is his nature to be skinny. He is still eating like the little piggy that he is and his poops are normal so I know that the food is not going through him. The vet says that there is nothing wrong with him being thin / skinny. He eats alot of duck soup also and I put nutrical in it at times (not all the time) I don't want to give him too much sugar which nutrical has. So just maybe you don't have to worry too much and it's just their nature to be thin or skinny, if they weren't eating or drinking water then I would start to worry. I also know hooman's that can eat and eat and never gain a pound (that makes me so jealous LOL) and stay thin or skinny. I also have a Fuzzie that weighs over 4lbs and is a chublet :-) This one eats untill he can hardly move and sometimes ends up with a tummy ache. I am thinking of inventing a tread mill for him LOL. I know that this is not good for him so I am thinking of putting him on a diet, I just haven't figured out how I am going to do this without having to seperate him from his 3 cage mates. I think he would be very stressed and depressed if I seperate him. So if anyone out there has any suggestions I would appreciate some feed back on this subject. I feed my Babie's a mix of Totally Ferret and Wysong's Vitality and Nurture. I appreciate any feedback on this subject. My vet says he is healthy otherwise, so he is just a fat little butterball that loves to eat, and eat, and eat. :-) A GREAT WEEK TO ALL, and HAPPY FERRETING :-) Dawn and the Terrible Two's Gang, Trouble, Rosy, and Fat Boy Joey and the new Fuzzbutt Dru :-) Still Missing my Tazy Terribly !!!!!!
