This analysis compared to all other foods given to our ferts seem by far the
best IMHO.  I could be wrong, so I'm asking for some scientific help out
there.  My fuzzbutts do really fine on it.  I made some changes from some
info on the FML and NOT with good results, so back strictly on diet of
Innova and TF mix.  My Fuzzbutts have been eating Innova for over 1 yr.  I
made some changes and they lost weight, so for 2 1/2 months TF and Innova
mixed with other stuff to wean them strictly back to just the 2.  Dooks and
Dances from the 14 Cacaland OUTLAWS!!
