As to perforations from bones. One of our own vets (who has since moved to another state after marriage) encountered a perforated esophagus which was fatal, and some vets here have mentioned perforations of the intestine. I do NOT know if any of the ferrets involved ate whole prey, though.
My response:
My question would be whether they got into improperly prepared bones. My mother always told me never to give cooked chicken bones to the dog, because they'd break and hurt the dog... or was that turkey bones... or both...
Another reason to feed whole prey (or properly ground bones if you don't feed whole prey).
