Just a wondering....I have two ferrets. My female is a farm bred pet store Canadian and very active, climber etc. My male I had neutered at approx 6 months, active but not as much a climber etc. The male is totally a sheath of muscle with huge broad feet (I call him Sasquatch) even though he's not 3 lbs. The female looks skinner, feels skinner, definetely not as muscular feeling. She has a bit of a tummy which feels flabby. My question, really just wondering, since they both seem very healthy is the female seems to eat (and drink) more, more often. The male hardly seems to eat at all, about every 3 days his favorite food bowl suddenly gets almost empty. It's hard to tell for sure since there are several food bowls in the house but I see Giesela eat more, Boris almost never and the only time I see him drink is in the tub when I have to run water for him. How can he stay so muscular and not hardly eat? And Giesela stay so skinny and eat all the time? I realize there is the neuter and gender thing but it seems odd just the same.
