I have a 1yr old ferret Mishief, She refuses to eat her food but will only eat the dogs food watered down. My concerns are shes now losing a lot of weight because of it. I don't know what I should do and what other foods I can try offering her. I know they can eat table foods but I'm not sure if it matters what type of table foods are ok to feed her I don't want to feed her something that isn't good for her or make her sick. I already know that she can't have sweets cuz the vet says it can cause a ferret to develop diabetes and I don't want that to happen. Please any advice or ideas are greatly appreciated thanks bunches. Tracy
