Subject: Re: the ferret who had been food-deprived along the way

As has been said that sort of thing can happen anywhere along
the way: store, distributor, source. We even have one who was
food -deprived BOTH at earlier homes and at the store she kept
being returned to. She was in a bad way when she came here --
unable to compete even with much younger ones for food. Got
chunky at first but then she finally realized that food wasn't going
to disappear so she settled down and has been a slender and
athletic one ever since. I expect that some others have had ones
who weren't as easy andwill have tips to help you if your's has
such gorging behaviors a long while.
