A fellow by the name of Karim Choukair has written a book in German called "Frettchen" (Ferrets). The book is presented at http://www.frettchen.de. I was pleasantly surprised when I read the section on nutrition at http://www.frettchen.de/ernaehru.htm. The author parallels many of the ideas Bob Church has promoted: the requirement for a high meat content, feeding mice and chicks, etc... If you read German, check it out! George.
