>keep in mind the following. 1/ raw foods can transmit bacteria ( do you >eat raw meat ?),... Actually, I do! It's called "fillet amiricain" (ironic isn't it? ;-)) in Belgium and "steak tartare" in France. It's raw beef with some egg yolk (yup, you guessed it, also raw), mayonnaise and a few other ingredients ... very common dish, usually served with fries ... very delicious and very healthy. >2/ many "raw " meats will make your ferrets STINK...sorry but, there is >a fine balance between having a pet that eats "pet food" and a stinky >animal that eats raw foods.. Uuhh, I've been feeding my *pet* ferrets raw meat for several years now, and I can asure you they do *not* stink any more than when they were fed kibble. >** Please post proof or any further information on this "fact"! Yes, please do! I would love to see it. Cheers, Marie [Posted in FML issue 4639]
