Hi y'all! My uncle recently found a stray ferret in his front yard and was unable to locate its previous owner. He knew I always wanted a ferret, and so now I'm a proud and excited ferret owner. (This is in addition to two cats. One kitty is also a stray. I have a weakness for stray animals.) Here's my current question. I read something somewhere on the internet and cannot find the reference again. It was something about the nutritional needs of the ferret changing once they matured and needing less protien? In fact, it seemed to imply that it was actually necessary to reduce the protein for medical reasons. I'm not sure how old Chloe is. The vet estimated 2-3. I was wondering if anyone could tell me a little bit about changing nutritional needs of ferrets, and give some advice about what type of food to feed Chloe. Right now I have her on the "growth" or high protein foods. I'm worried that she is too old though. Thanks for any help in advance. I'm also open to any other ferret advice for relatively new owners too of course! Amy and Chloe [Posted in FML issue 2104]
