Ok, this is going to sound weird, but... One of my ferrets, Fezzik, had been pretty sick earlier this month (we were force feeding). A day or so after he finally started eating again, I caught him stealing a kibble out of the dog's bowl - he'd never seemed interested in dog food before, so I was pretty surprised. (Especially since this ferret is *so* picky that he won't eat/drink sustacal, nutrical, or raisins.) Is there any harm in letting him occaisonally have a dog kibble? Obviously dog food is completely unacceptible for a basic food, but is there any harm in it as a treat? (We feed the dog twice daily, and so far Fez has only been able to steal one, or at most two, dog food kibbles a day, which shouldn't interfere with his appetite for his regular food. FYI, we feed the ferrets a mix of IAMS & Science Diet kitten, and we're feeding the dog Nature's Recipe Lamb & Rice... and no, the dog doesn't seem terribly upset about Fezzik's thefts!) -Rochelle (who had thought she'd tried everything under the sun in an attempt to get Fez to eat earlier this month - Sustacal, Nutrical, Pedialyte, Gatorade, Hills a/d, peanut butter, defizzed-Sprite.... obviously, I should have thought to try dog food...)
