I went to the store to pick up some ferret lax today.  Any time I do, I
always check the cat hairball section too to see if they have anything
that looks good.  Today I found a product called Vetbasis Hairball Gel.
Has anyone heard of it?  I bought some here is the package info:

acids, no sugar or sodium, healthier alternative
 
BACK: Vetbasis Hairball Gel is easy to use.  It helps reduce the
incidents of hairballs without using petroleum-based additives.  Our
hairball gel has no sugar, sodium or trans fatty acids, making it safe
for diabetic cats and a healthier alternative for every cat.

So do you guys think this is a good alternative to "regular" ferret lax?
I figured no sugar would be a good thing.  Of course I don't even know if
my guys would eat it.  I want to make sure it would work and would be
okay to give them before I let them try it.
 
Thanks.
