Hill's Science Diet A/D.  Its normally available by prescription only.  We
get it and use it for our kits as part of their switch toward solid foods.

Oops.  missed this before...  Not quoting the "right person" though...
 
This might be a relatively common genetic "flaw".  Many ferrets particularly
mitts and Wardensburg patterns have either a fused tail or a kinked tail.
In some it is right at the very tip and feels like a little round ball.
Some of ours over the years (none where breed as we try to cull this kind of
thing) have had these.
 
What ARC says is true but depending upon how long "always" is it could
easily be this skeletal flaw.  If it is there is nothing you can or should
want to do about it.

Well we use Totally Ferret and have always (since it came out) recommended
it as the best source single diet.
 
Marshall's isn't a bad food but we don't use it.
 
Kaytee is probably better than we used to think but again don't use it.
 
8in1 is designed to requirethe use of 8in1's other product - Ferretone.
(we'd advise sticking with a more complete diet unless you like adding
another product because you HAVE to...)
 
NuPro?  No idea...

Oh... pretty good though Star Tannery is far from a "large" town.  It has a
post office but well... The "lobby" is smaller than my bedroom...
 
Mountain Falls actually shows up on a surprising number of maps.  It is
literally just a cross roads with three houses (and 1 and 1/2 horses - 1
horse and 1 pony that is) We live in the "suburbs" of Mountain Falls... If
you have a GPS with the right "maps" you can even find the "right of way"
(not a public road) that we live down.  Ask Bob Martin...
 
I'll check on Richard's Run.  Cedar Creek is the closest "largish" stream.
We have seen wild mink in the area already.  Cool critters...
 
We have already come across at least one ferret owner in one of the nearby
parks (a sort of gated subdivision thingie)
