In reply to my post about mice feed, I got a rather.. unproductive email. I don't consider the post worth replying to, but in case other people feel the same, I would like to just justify myself. I am not some tree-hugging 'animal lover'. I care for my animals, and I give them the respect they desrve. Amoung this respect is feeding them the diet they need. Also, these mice would have had (humane, as far as that goes) experiments done on them. So really, they'd probably thank me. This person 'spoke for the whole list' in thier reply. Apparently, I do not understand this 'community' of 'animal lovers', and I am degrading the list with my disgusting talk of feeding my animal 'other animals', and that this was a huge blow against people trying to convince people that ferrets are domesticated. As far as I was aware, this was a list for ferret owners about their ferrets and ferret care, not a select group of people who are 'right'. If I am wrong, please tell me, and I'll unsubscribe right away. I find close-mindedness rather offensive, but knowing what that sort of person is like, I won't be holding my breath for an apology. On a side note, in follow up to my original post, the ferrets are now eating the entire mouse, and are eating small amounts of thier other food, so I'm happy. To anyone else who feeds mice (and I've read discussions on it before, I know you're out there somewhere ;P) would the ferrets need to eat less of this diet than of the tinned/raw meat? - Reet (Proud to put respect for my fellow beings welfare above my own silly little views on life) [Posted in FML issue 2752]
