This is an open leter to ferretologists. Adrenal disease causation in ferrets is increasingly speculative at this time. Note that Church's erudite and superb expostion on bone eating casts some slight suspicion on commercially prepared ferret kibble chow as a possible contributory cause of adrenal gland maladies. This speculation is mentioned twice and unfortunately no reason is given for this relating "new and improved ferret kibble" contributing to adrenal problems so prevalent in todays Amerikanishe Frettchen. Let us ask the wizards of ferretology to tighten up the implied negativity of ferret kibble chow as it now appears rather loosely tied to adrenal gland health. And secondlly, how does USA adrenal gland health compare in English/European ferret communities where ferret kibble chow is assumedly less used? Thank you, Hi Doughno [Posted in FML issue 4712]
