People who just like to cause issues

Ah dumb humans...
Anyways, I find it really respectable that although you decide to live a certain lifestyle you don't feel the need to force it on everything with an iron fist. Seriously, I think it's great that you can separate your life choices/ideologies (meaning i don't know if you're vegetarian because you feel healthier or because it's because of beliefs you hold) from what your animals need and are willing to feed them what you feel they'd be healthiest on and what they'd thrive best on.

btw, can you tell about your ferrets diet? Never had ferrets, don't know much about them, but I'm quite curious.

This guy comes on there and says "I have a pet hawk. I was looking for a humanely raised ferret to feed him. Would you be willing to give yours over for a good cause?"

That's cruel. I have a snake that eats rabbits. There are people who post on these forums who have rabbits as pets. I even really enjoy eating rabbit myself.

But I would NEVER say "hey gimme your pet to feed my pet" to them.

I agree, that comment from him was rude and unnecessary. I love rabbits, but I know that I may have to feed rabbits to snakes at one point. (which I'll try to strive for frozen)
When I get my rats next season to start breeding, they will be my pets. :]

Dogs can survive on a vegan diet, but they do not thrive on it. Vegetarian diets for cats are even worse on the animal.

That reminds me of a futurama cartoon where they say they made the Lion into a vegetarian - and it shows the lion and he's coughing and all his hair is falling out.

I like and care for all animals, but Stan gets mice because that is what he eats. Thats nature.

We have a little saying in our house (helps the younger kids differentiate between what critter is a pet and what one is a feeder).....

"Things with names don't eat other things with names."
