Hi,
"Polecat" over here refers to the colour of the ferret........I've got 2
polecat hobs..........they're definitely ferrets but they're the same
markings as wild polecats (ie. sable.......cream undercoats with dark
guardhairs and legs and tail with a face mask.Don't you use the same term
in the States?
Haven't tried the new food yet so can't comment......but when I posted the
ingredients of the one I do use (in conjunction with whole carcasses) I was
blasted too for the amount of fish meal in it.Well, if it's all that's
available it's better than nowt!Mine have both just won prizes at a show on
their debatably "unhealthy" diet...1st and 2nd in the Polecat hob class and
overall champion hob..........so they can't be doing too badly!:-)
