Okay; Here's what I would like to know:
1. What do you feed your ferrets?
2. What is your average lif expectancy of your ferrets?
3. Insulinoma? Cancer? (what kind) adrenal?
4. What age? (refering to #3)
5. Treats?
6. Outdoor playtime?
After everyone answers, I'll tell you what I found out (well figure out)
from another website I did this on.

> 1. What do you feed your ferrets?
Lamb and rice catfood.
> 2. What is your average lif expectancy of your ferrets?
around 6
> 3. Insulinoma? Cancer? (what kind) adrenal?
Yes, they all had cancer. Usuall started in the adrenal, I'd get them
surgery, and then it'd spread to other organs after a year or so.
> 4. What age? (refering to #3)
They usually got cancer and lived for another year.
> 5. Treats?
Dried fruit. Like raisens or bannanas
> 6. Outdoor playtime?
Never. They hate the leash. But I have a patio door I open up so they can go
play by the door and get fresh air. When they were younger, they liked to
climb the screen.

> I used to feed Marshall's and 8-in-1 Ultra when I was new to ferrets. Now
I feed Zupreem and sometimes mix it with kitty food.
> 2. What is your average lif expectancy of your ferrets?
> All have lived to about 5 years old. Not quite sure about George, he was
a rescue, so his age was estimated.
> 3. Insulinoma? Cancer? (what kind) adrenal?
> No insulinoma. Dweezil and Opie both had adrenal (both were from MF).
And George died from Lymphosarcoma.
> 4. What age? (refering to #3)
> Adrenal came on around 3-4 years of age. George got lympho around 4.5
years of age and it took him within 3 months of finding lumps.
> 5. Treats?
> froot loops, cheerios, yogies, cheweasels, n-bone chews for ferrets, foamy
fries, cat treats, chicken/turkey baby food, pieces of chicken or beef for
those who'll eat meat
> 6. Outdoor playtime?
>Kolby and Stormy are the only ones who will tolerate a leash and enjoy
going outside.

They live outdoors in a court, but are let out in the garden which is secure
