Kaye from the UK: I wouldn't mind if my ferrets ate meat but other than sniffing at it they pretty much leave it alone. My female will take cooked meat and hide it (she especially likes Pizza Hut chicken wings - I watch and count where they're all going and then retrieve them, she'll actually rip them right out of your mouth but doesn't eat them, just stashes them). Occassionally I've seen her actually eat a small bit of cooked beef. My boy shows no interest at all. BTW I noticed "Lurcher" in your address. I know someone answered this for me before but I can't remember - what type of dog is a Lurcher? Mary [Posted in FML issue 2123]
