Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Garlic in Denmark

Hi Miss Sidsel,
Since garlic, onions, vinegar, brewer's yeast, etc., do not repel
fleas,
my first question is why do you want to feed them to your ferrets?

I think the dk in your e-mail address indicates you
are in Denmark. If so I would like to ask you about the
husbandry practices in Denmark. At what age are
the ferrets spayed/neutered over there? Are they kept
indoors or are they kept outdoors? Are they normally
fed a dry, kibble food (ferret food or kitten food) or are
they fed a whole prey diet? Is adrenal gland disease
common over there? Is insulinoma a common problem
over there?
