Hi from the furries down under a few questions for those of you topside? I am trying to find out if soy milk falls under the vegetable protein banner and thus is bad for ferrets? Also is lard/dripping suitable as a fats additive for ferrets in need of something to help dry skin. all other fats and oils seem to be based on veggies or contain lactose. Any suggestions Is town water bad for ferrets with it "high" calcium levels and chlorine and fluorine? Why the no bone recommendations in many texts? Ferrets teeth and jaws are designed for bone crunching, are they not? What do you worm your ferrets with? Bitter apple is not available over her any other suggestions for bitterants/deterrents I am trying to get a complete breakdown of a ferrets nutritional requirements, I know it is in James.G.Fox's book but I cannot get a copy or access to a copy(believe me I have tried. Any suggestions or ability to e-mail me or fax me the relevant pages(Fax no +61 06 295 3831, do not forget your code to get out of the states) Any homeopathic or herbal remedies for ferret would be greatly appreciated or suggestions of sites that particularly deal with this topic. I am trying to get a permit to import a ferret from the states or UK and thus bring in some new genes to the very small Australian gene pool(no new ferrets since 1927) Any one interested in helping me please tell me.
