We just took two ferrets into our shelter who have the strangest names I've ever encountered in ferrets, SID and NANCY! Since we are the fourth place they have lived, we shall probably keep them here as I feel it is time they had something permanent, but the names have to go! Any suggestions? They are very large and quite docile. They are white and red-brown with marking between a panda and sable. FOOD: I'm a Lisencd wildlife rehabber and use Purina Mills, PMI, zoo feeds for my omnivores and other wild animals (when Purina split up, Ralston Purina took the human cereals and animal chows for pets, and Purina Mills does Zoo feeds and commercial domestic animal feeds) My supplier tells me he can get me PMI's ferret feed (not to be confused with Purina Ferret Chow). It is called "Mizuri" (not Japanese but the phonetic spelling of the state it is made in in St.Louis) Although its nutritional statistics look good, it ust be bought in large quantities. Before I try it, I would like to know if anyone is using it and how acceptable it is to the ferret palate. If talking about a commercial product is not approprite to the list, perhaps you could E-mail me any info. Thank you, Gale Putt, [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1252]
