Subject: [ferrethealth] My ferret likes eggs.....too much!
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

I have a 7 month old deaf albino male, who likes to eat raw
eggs.....We had an egg fall on the floor and Pepsi just happened to
be right there, well of course you know he had to run over there to
see what it was and he started eating it (REALLY fast)......so we
started scrambling up eggs and giving it to him....I am worried about
the cholesterol issue, I know as humans it is a big issue, but does
it affect ferrets the same way? He wants atleast one egg a day.....I
don't feel that is good for him, but if he doesn't get it he lays on
the kitchen floor and stares at the fridge (it's kinda funny), if he
still doesn't get it he lays on your feet (while your in the kitchen)
and then he follows you everywhere if he still doesn't get
it.....it's quite funny...we do feed our ferrets a raw diet (they eat
kibble primarily), and pepsi is not the only one who likes eggs, just
that the others don't want them like he does.......I just want to
make sure I'm not hurting my fuzzy by what I give him.

Oh yeah, I tried egg whites this morning....but he turned his nose up
at them..

Thanks
Nikki
Macy, Rambo, Diesel, & Pepsi
