Hi Shirley-
we are seeing it much less now that we have started supplimenting meat in the ferret diets. I am referring to changes over a wide period of time- the past 4 years we have seen only 1 case of IBD in the shelter- prior to that before feeding meat suppliments we had at least 6 cases per year.
