        Thanks.  Amy did remind of CFFF and I find it hard to believe
I forgot them.  But unfortunately I'm only human.  I didn't know that
Lynn and Jesse moved away though thanks again.

        Good question any input on this out there.  I also use
Science Diet.  My ferrets seem to be very healthy compared to
other ferrets I've seen.  Thier coats are thicker and they seem
to have a little more body wieght than most other ferrets I've
seen.  I've also strongly recommened Science Diet to alot of
people who were first time ferret owners.
 
        Brad, Sebastian and Mako.
