Perhaps a better question to ask those vets who've treated ferrets that
have been fed raw or natural diets instead of kibble over the years
would be:
 
Have any of these ferrets that have been raised on this diet suffered
from insulinoma, adrenal disease (prior to 5yo), hairball blockage,
stomach ulcers or a bedding chewing habit?
 
One of my favourite vets actually had tears in his eyes when I told him
that US ferrets are routinely being given implants to prevent the onset
of adrenal disease.

I am happy to tread on as many toes as it takes to improve the physical
and mental wellbeing of ferrets, even if it's only a handful of them.
