Haven't posted in a very loong time but thought I would at least say Hi and let you know how things are going. As far as diet, the little fuzzy monsters are doing really well, although, I am about to delete beef from their meal schedule. None of them like it and I end up throwing more of it away (or letting the dog have it) than anything. That will still leave them with a mix of duck, chicken, turkey, and pork...
Unfortunately, Melinda has developed adrenal issues. I have her on melatonin but I really can't tell if it is helping or not. Bastien has been on melatonin for over a year and responded well right from the beginning. Melinda is missing about 1/3 of her fur and looks pathetic (especially next to Damia who has beautiful thick soft fur) - but she still runs around like crazy and eats like a pig! My vet is not in favor of doing adrenal surgery (and I really don't like the idea either) but I am beginning to wonder if it would be better for her...
Damia will be a year old next month but she is still a kit at heart! She causes me more aggravation and more reasons to laugh than the other two combined. She has pretty much lost the black stripe on her back but still has her mottled tail. I will try to remember to post some pics soon.
Got to get back to work.

Hi, and welcome back Sorry to hear about your adrenal babies, that's no fun. I've got mine on lupron, and they are doing quite well with it. Glad to hear they are doing so well with their diet. It really makes a world of difference for them, doesn't it ? My two little "reverse skunks" lost their stripes by the time they were a year old as well. I still miss those
