Hi Sandra and all,
Looking from the perspective of having
ferrets for over 30 years, living both inside and out, and feeding
on fresh meat suitable for human consumption
I have never had a case of Insulinoma. Only one
annoying case of Adrenal disease but that is
a different story.
Feeding ferrets meat and egg diets of course
takes away the use of the multitude of processed ferret diets .
"Totally Ferret" diets in the USA appears
superior but there is a trend even in the cat and dog feeding world
to get back to more natural food
ingredients. I have stopped feeding my cat (no dog at present) on
commercial biscuit food and have had no trouble.
Perhaps in this busy world people have no
time to throw a few fresh food items together for their pets.
I should really throw a dead rabbit with
guts exposed to my pet ferret ,as people using ferrets for hunting had the
idea of doing, but that would be going too
far on the kitchen floor!
