Hey everyone!
 
I recently purchased ferrets magazine the 2002 annual, and I found a most
interesting chart on ferret food.  It states the minimum requirements,
percent of protien, and other specs.  here it is for anyone curious if
that food is good for your fuzzy:
 
Percent of protien: 32 to 40 percent
 
1st ingredient: must be meat-based
 
2nd-5th ingredient: Two of the 2nd - 5th ingredients should be meat
products
 
percent of fat: 18-22 percent
 
Percent of fiber: 2-3 percent or less
 
Percent of Ash: less than 7 percent
 
Also check to see that taurine is listed somewhere on the package label.
Many authorities recomment that this nutrient be included in a ferret's
diet for healthy heart and eyes.
