On livejournal. I won't say where or by whom, but they are saying this after a lecture by a ferret expert. >Neutering and spaying (though some states they have to be to be legally >sold) actually increases the adrenal chances by 30 percent. Stress on >ferrets in ulcers often cause death in nearly 60 percent of ferrets. >Dental issues most often kill ferrets more then adrenal or insuloma >(which incidentally is caused by feeding your ferrets more then once a >day a certain amount). So can anyone point my to any real scientific evidence for any of these things, hell I will settle for published papers that aren't even widely accepted. I just want to know why someone is saying this and is there some body of work out there that I haven't heard about.
