You are confusing the canned version with the bag version - I do not feed
nor recommend dry Sci Diet for ferrets for several reasons, but the canned
is very good for weaning and teething ferrets.  With cans, you have to
remember that the water content makes the formulation for protein and fats
different.  For example: water 75% (three-fourths water) protein x% (now
multiply by 3 to bring up to dry content equivilants - poor math but it
works.)
