Sukie, I support your push to get the stores to quit carrying certain
ferret foods and treats. I have a question. I quit giving my girl
raisins and ordered a bunch of N-Bone Chicken Flavored Chew Treats. I
see on the label that the principal ingredient of those is soy protein
concentrate. I have read (somewhere) that too much plant protein can
cause bladder stones in ferrets. In light of that, what do you think of
the N-Bones?
