re: what are peopel feeding ferrets?
Please though nutirition may be a factor THE BIG PICTURE here is to factor
in that in US more are spayed/ neutered early!!!! for pet trade.
IMO that is where a BIG health difference is attributable! The hormones
do not get to participate in the immune system establishment-- which makes
for a weaker immune response system. Thus no wonder the US ferrets have
health problems.
Do you think a child neutered at 7 years would be as healthy a male adult
as one not neutered? Just some apples for your oranges!
