You know people, some of you are one way and are forgetting the other aspects causing good or bad health of our furkids. There is more to a ferrets health being good or bad than just what they are fed. Genetics & environmental influences play a MAJOR part in how long out furkids will live & how healthy they will be. Have you ever thought about how ferret farms breed to get their kits? Or how a Private breeder, reptitable or not, conduct their breeding practices to get the kits they produce? What about environment? The type of litter you use can effect a ferrets health. So can purified, tap, spring and well water. Light, little light or no light. The type of vet care you provide can determine your ferrets health as well. Smoking or not smoking around your ferrets can also contribute to their good or bad health. Everyone needs to LOOK at the whole picture before determining what is good or bad for their or anyone else's ferrets. It's not just what you feed them! [Posted in FML issue 5194]
