Pamela,
It seems from the hundreds of ferrets which have passed through here in the
past few years that once a ferret is taken off a fish based diet and ut on a
chicken based diet-- it doesn't ever want to go back! Now that may just be
my interpretation ( human at that) of the ferrets presentation. BUt numbers
convince me. The Kaytee does have a fish base as do a few other ferret
foods. They are also lower in fat. The chicken based foods ( quality vet
grade diets) have as much if not more protein in a chicken base-- they
usually have more fat. Fat is a necessary ingredient in the ferret diet.
Perhaps this explains why your kid took to the ProPlan over Kaytee.
