VEGETARIAN FERRETS
>Not just for us humans, but for our vegetarian ferrets, too.
I hope you were referring to ferrets who prefer fruity-flavored _treats_.
As you know, ferrets are obligate carnivores. They simply cannot thrive on
a non-carnivorous diet. Please be sure that you are feeding your ferrets a
food that contains a minimum of 32% protein and a minimum of %18 fat. The
first few ingredients listed on the label should be meat or meat by-products
(usually poultry). Corn and other vegetable products should not be listed
within the first few ingredients. Commonly recommended foods include
Totally Ferret, Innova Kitten, and Iams Kitten; check out the Ferret Store
(http://www.theferretstore.com), if you're looking for these products (no,
I'm not affiliated with the Ferret Store).
Cheers,
Gina Hart/Sage Ferrets
