Each food choice has its good and bad points, but it is kind of silly
for anyone, let alone someone who has had ferrets for only a handful
of years and has already lost some ferrets in that short timeframe, to
assert that a diet of well balanced kibbles, like some of the existing
ferret foods, is unhealthy when so many of us have for decades used
such foods for our mostly healthy and long-lived, happy ferrets.

Are there lower quality kibbles? Sure, but there are also lower quality
whole prey diets such as ones based on chicks or baby mice, both of
which are too low in calcium and some other nutrients, and there are
also some poor quality homemade foods some have devised.

No one who feeds a quality diet should ever feel guilty for making a
perfectly reasonable choice just because someone else goes with a
different approach.
