Subject: Re: How much Chromium does a ferret with Insulinoma need?

You should not give your ferret chromium. Think about it. If your
husband takes it for his diabetes, it's because it has some glucose
lowering effects. You would not want to lower the glucose levels of
a ferret that already has levels too low.
