While waiting for hypotheses to pan out I can hold my head high knowing| that, being an advocate of a natural diet for ferrets, my advice has never caused the death or illness in a ferret. Can detractors of natural feeding for ferrets do likewise? (Think hard about this.) I think not. We know natural feeding works, because we have many of years of| evolution as proof. Always for the Ferrets, Shirley [Posted in FML issue 5189]
