Here in the UK a lot of us older folk feed our ferrets on "nothing but meat" and our animals reach double figures with not the slightest health problems. At one point I went over to dry food because I was hounded into it by one or two female expert! pet owners here in the UK who made me feel that I was not doing the right thing for my animals, since having health problems on a diet of dry food, I have gone back to feeding a raw meat diet for my cats, dogs and ferrets, I have even gone so far as requesting that people in my area who own backyard poultry instead of killing and bining them contact me and give them to me so I can feed them to my animals. Since posting on several local boards I have had\ to get an other freezer to put the stuff in. The man with a new idea is a crank until other take it up.
