There is really nothing that can be done to prevet adrenal disease. It is one of the things that is common in ferrets and they are not sure what exactly causes it. Peanut butter is not bad for ferrets if given in small quantities. The average life span of a ferret is 8-10 years. Sorry to hear about your little one!

I lost one to adrenal disease as well. We paid a bundle for the surgery, and it went well, but she died in her sleep at the vet that night. =( Its a risky thing, but some survive the surgery at least.
