Thank you for your advice : ) I'll consider it and bring it up
with my vet, when I take them on Monday. My vet is not an expert on
ferrets, so I'm glad to be a part of a forum where I can get more
information on my ferrets than my vet may be able to provide. Again
Thanks a lot!
Sincerely,
Erin Elizabeth Martin
