For what it's worth, my $0.02... My ferrets have never been interested in raw food, which I am grateful for because I don't know that I could stomach feeding them anything live or recently-live. I know it happens in the wild, but mine were raised on a farm and have never been anything other than domesticated. I think that requires some consideration when deciding upon a "correct" diet. They seem fine with their kibble, and I give them supplements and try to make sure they're eating the best kibble available. I think that's all as a ferret parent that I can do. The original post on this topic irked me a bit because it seemed (to me) to include a judgement on people who feed their ferrets kibble... I'm not saying it shouldn't have been posted (first amendment?) but I think we all might try re-reading our posts before we send them, to check for anything that might be a bit too strong. Think "I believe" instead of "This is right". The toughest thing about having a debate on the internet is the inability to express tone of voice, and the frequency with which things are misunderstood and overanalyzed.
