Hi to all.
 
Let me first thank all the nice persons that were answering very kindly to
my request of advice on Igor's beahviour: The list would be very long, so
I'm not going to mention all the names and I e-mailed them directly.  I
really do appreciate theyr understanding.
 
I have a question about food.
 
When I bought Orietta the pet shop advised to give her the Techni-Cal
Kitten Food (made in Canada), and my vet said it was ok. Note that no
specific ferret's food was available in that moment (May).
 
So I started with it, in the "dried" version.  Last summer was particularly
hot here, so I used to give her the canned meat (same brand and type) only
a few times per month, in order to avoid decomposition risks.
 
I kept with the same food when Igor came one month later.
 
The shop recently received Fluker's Ferret Diet, and I bought it, mixing it
with the remaining Techni-Cal I  had at home.
 
They seem to like this food and theyr weights raised from 500 grams to
1,100 (Orietta) and from 1,300 to 2,000 (Igor) since I have them.  I also
give them every other day a couple of slices of smashed banana.
 
- Do you think this feeding is adequate enough for them ?
- Do I have to use only Fluker's or continue to mix it with Tehni-Cal ?
- Shall I add something  ?
- Do you believe that canned food could be better than the dried one ? (now
  temperature is fresher)
- Don't forget that specific ferret's food other than that one cannot
  actually be found here.
 
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
 
Fulvio
