To answer your question, yes I feed my ferret restaurant food... Whenever we go out (usually every weekend) to eat, I always think of Trouble and bring him back a doggie bag of what's left of my steak (since I'm usually full after a 5 once steak but most places we go to serve 10 onces at least). And yes, I'm sure the meat is good... We live in Omaha, NE, home of the greatest steaks in the USA... And yes, the meat is usually almost rare when I get it (restaurants aren't allowed to serve it rare anymore but if you ask for medium-rare, most places around here will serve it just coked enough that there's no blood coming out of it when you press on it but still bright red). Trouble is always happy to get these as treats and has never gotten sick after the numerous times I've done this... Neither have my dogs and cats that I've had in the past... I'm just a caring mommy who really loves her ferret and thinks about him, even when I'm out... On the other hand, I'm happy you're not my fuzzbutt's hooman owner. Michelle, Scott & Trouble (Please mommy, go out tonight and bring me some more treats) :) [Posted in FML issue 2353]
