Subject: RE: Baby ferret nursing formula????

Just give him cows milk; I have been feeding kit ferrets
milk for nearly 40 years with no problems. Ferrets like people
only become lactose intolerant if they are not given milk for
around 6 months. Kits do not normally have any trouble with
cows milk, I start feeding it at 3 weeks of age to take some
of the strain of nursing off the mothers. Chris.
