Michael, thanks for bringing up the Felidae food subject. I'm always on
the lookout for good foods to add to my mix. I came across the Felidae
brand while doing a search and was quite impressed with the ingredients.
I bought a 5 pound bag and added it to my regular mix of Totally Ferret, 8
in 1 Ultimate, and TFS food and my guys LOVED the Felidae. They are eating
this current mixture better than they ever have. Coats are huge and soft,
energy level is HIGH but not hyper, and they have great muscle tone and
body condition. Stools are small, firm, and non smelly. I am really
impressed with this food and plan to make it a regular part of my mix.

on it.
