Here's a little different perspective on buying Totally Ferret.  I would
love to feed my ferrets Totally Ferret.  I have 10 ferrets.  If I use your
experience as a baseline, I would need 7.5 oz.  per day to feed my ferrets.
Just to make it simpler, I'm going to round up to 8 oz. per day; that
would mean that a 15# bag should last one month, approximately.  Now, you
stated that shipping is included in the price for TF from The Ferret Store
in the USA -- Not so.  When I bought a 30# bag of TF from them, the
shipping was $40.00 (and last I checked, Alaska is still in the USA); they
insist they have to ship via UPS and the only way to get anything here via
UPS is overnight, so my 30# bag of TF actually cost me $100.  But, 30#
should last 2 months based on the prior calculations, so I'm paying
$50.00/month or $12.50 per week.
 
OK, so what if I could get it somewhere closer.  The closest place for
me to get TF is Anchorage, AK (1,000 miles away) and there, a 30# bag
costs, drum roll please, $114.00 (and that's the cheapest I could find
there).
 
So, all you down-staters (or lower-48ers), count your blessing, you could
own 10 ferrets, live in Alaska, and not be able to feed your fuzzies
Totally Ferret without going bankrupt!!
