Hi, Cindy,

We do NOT withhold water before blood glucose testing.
We do remove the food bowl from the travel cage.
That gives them 1-2 hours without food depending on
how backed up the vet is. We don't go longer because
we are dealing with older ferrets (two are nine) with
insulinoma.

All the best,
Caity and the seven wonder weasels
