I don't have an age but she's no spring chicken! I'm guessing around 5.
I've fasted insulinomic ferrets for 3-4 hours before but like I mentioned, I've
just never seen a ferret this hungry before. I didn't want to fast her if
there could be something else going on. She has a vet appointment for next
Saturday hopefully I'm just being overly worried!
