folks: how frequently, on average, should an adult female ferret eat? How much, preferably in measurements of soft food, should she be eating each time? The reason I ask is that I have a six year old female who had adrenal surgery a year ago Easter because she was going into low sugar shocks. She has recovered wonderfully so far but sometimes, she forgets to eat (when we let her out into the rest of the house - the excitement seems to take over feelings of hunger). So what I want to do is feed her partial meals of canned cat food during the evening, but not to replace her normal kibbles. In very happy news, Larry and I have happy news - we are the proud parents of Odo and Quark, two dark grey silver mitt baby boy brothers. Anyone in the Ohio/Michigan/Kentucky area, I would definatly, again, recommend Doug Mckay at Unique Impressions (419 - 253 - 1921). He has just beautiful ferrets and lots of them. thanks beckers, larry, and the wild eleven -- Becki Kain [log in to unmask] (313) 248-6044 (313) 390-8817 fax "switch off the mind and let the heart decide what you were meant to be" thomas dolby [Posted in FML issue 1240]
