For those of you who really know a lot about nutrition (Bob are you there?) Giesela LOVES the dehydrated chicken liver treats that you get for dogs. She'll really chow - can too much hurt her? Seems like I read somewhere that liver is really high in something but maybe that's polar bear liver:) In a book called Paying the Piper by Sharyn McCrumb there is a line about ferrets I cannot find now. Essentially the woman is thinking about her biologist boyfriend in response to a conversation about socializing or something and she thinks her boyfriends friends aren't so fun because after dinner "they always leave early to go home and feed their ferrets".
