Okay everybody here is your chance to make a change for our ferrets. At the Symposium, we had many venders of which one was Ferret Depot which has come in as competition against The Ferret Store. Ferret people being 3/4ths vultures came down on them like a herd of turtles and complained of some of the products they carry which is NOT good for ferrets Lo and behold, they have written a letter stating they would remove them immediately from their website but wouldn't be able to on this batch of written mailers. However, for those making the order they would put a disclaimer stating the product was bad for ferret health. They will be notifying the mfg they will not order more PROGRESS Now, since Petco has been working with us here, we need to take this a step further and see what influence we have with them. The product we are going to use is the Yogurt Treats. We need to email the daylights out of them telling them it is bad and why: A short and simple e-mail about Yogies being a high carbohydrate treat that may cause insulinomas in pet ferrets, so it should not be sold at PetCo, Their representative at the Symposium said emails were fine but this was the only way they could get a product off the market was for enough to show an interest. We as a club will be writing our letter BUT we need indivduals to do the same Make it in your own words, very short and to the point that it is your understanding too much sugar in the ferret diets is causing vets to see more and more cases of insulnomia and we feel they should not be promoting a product that is almost all sugar: quote the ingredience if you so wish. THIS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. We will be appealing to others to do the same thing. In numbers we can start the progress towards increasing the health of our ferrets.
