>>>I've read through the limited posts on stones from the FHL and other
literature, which mostly point to rare occurances on a poor, high-corn diet. All my
ferrets and cats have eaten Felidae cat food for around 2 years, which I chose
for its limited grains (only rice).<<<

Not to sound preachy, but your ferrets need to be eating a high protien ferret food. Cat food does not have enough protien to maintain a healthy ferret. You can mix in some premium kitten food, which has a lot more protien than adult cat food, to stretch the more expensive ferret food.
