Howdy All! My Mother who is the proud owner of 2 females (spayed etc..) asked me a question the other day and I thought it might be worth a write because I waasn't able to find anything directly relating to it in any of the back issues I have. Here goes: One of her ferrets appears to have an ugly odor eminating from her ears No infection is evident or are ear mites. What should she clean them with, and should she be concerned. The other ferret shows no symptoms of this at all. Any Thoughts? Secondly, I see ferret food discussed regularly on the FML and thought I'd add my .02 worth. My Wife's father works for Purina and has been able to get us a couple of different chows for ferrets. Ours seem to thrive on the stuff. I don't know whether the rest of the world can get it, but they make 3 types that I am aware of: Mazuri Ferret Chow PMI Lab chow for ferrets Purina Lab chow for ferrets. In looking at the ingredients, the protein levels seem to be high (38%) and my critters just love it.... If anyone is interested, I'll see if I can get an address for you. Thanks, Douglas, Melissa and the critters... [Posted in FML issue 0979]
