Best Answer

Osteodystrophy - Defective bone formations, often due to hyperphosphorosis (too much phosphorous in the diet) is caused by feeding a diet consisting entirely of, or rich in, muscle meat: this lacks calcium and leads to a deficiency of this vital mineral. The problem usually manifests itself in young ferrets (six to twelve weeks) who have difficulty walking, moving instead with the gait of a seal, with the legs sticking out to the side of the body rather than pointing to the floor: death is common
