Steve wondered about feeding Marshall's and also about feeding a variety.
 
When I first had ferrets (about 10 years ago) they came to me eating
Marshall's.  Many people on the FML at that time recommended Totally
Ferret.  After I slowly made the change, I noticed that their poops,
while normal looking, were smaller and a lot less smelly.  Also, at
that time, Marshall food had a rather offensive odor.  Perhaps there
have been changes since then.
 
Regarding food variety, I am reading that a lot of people mix high
quality foods.  It seems like a "Why not" situation to me.  They get
good food, the opportunity to choose, and exposure to other foods.
Seems like a good idea in the event that one food goes out of production
or is difficult to find.
