I would be cautious feeding a product that is mostly "ground corn" as
ferrets are Carnivore's.  for too many years we have given our ferrets the
wrong food and now that we have propper food available it would make sense
to provide the proper diet.  I know that there are many "GOOD" diet's
available for our ferrets but the major ingredient should be animal not
vegetable.  I commend you on your find but would also suggest getting the
advice of your Vet prior to making this a permanent change.  This diet
appears to be geared for Labratory animals and not companion's.
 
The choice is always your.  It is only my opinion.  Blessings and luck on
your trials.
