I haven't quite completed the survey of our shelter as to the age of
affected ferrets, but of the 50+ in our shelter that have adrenal symptoms,
every single one is a Marshall Farms ferret.  I don't know how
representative that is of MF since practically every one of the 160 ferrets
in the shelter are MF ferrets.
