Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Sugar/Insulimoma?

Hello,

I read a post recently stating sugary treats in a ferret's diet
could
possibly contribute to insulinoma. (If I misunderstood, please let
me know.)
Another post asked if the main ingredient in Timmy' Tonic (clover
honey)
could be considered unhealthy. I periodically give my ferrets herbs
(Timmy's
Tonic and a few others) to boost their immune system, etc. Did
anyone
respond to the post? I've been offline and hadn't noticed. I
certainly
don't want to do anything that could cause illness.

Also, if the clover honey is OK, how much is too much? My ferrets
will get
one week of treatment, then one week off treatment. This alternates
back and
forth according to my schedule and how much time I have before work,
etc.
I'm not all that consistent with it.

Thanks,

-Y-
