I was thinking about adding this food to my current mix of Totally Ferret
and Iams Kitten, or maybe replacing the Iams kitten.  From the information
listed below, are there any reasons I should not feed this to my ferret?
Do I have to worry about lactose intolerance due to the casein?
 
Thanks,
Michael
