OK!  I finally dug it up!
 
This info was given to me by Debra A. Hoffmann from PetAg - 800-323-0877.
I have a paper that specifically says FERRET!  In comparison to ferret mom
milk (mother) & the Zoologic (milk 1):
 
DIET       % PROTEIN       % FAT       % LACTOSE       % SOLIDS
 
Mother          25.5        34.0            16.2         23.5
Milk 1          28.1        39.4            17.4
 
You mix together:
 
30/55           63%             11.4 volume
25/13           37%              4.9 volume
 
It says about mixing:
"The dry powders may be blended together and stored in a closed container
following label directions.  This allows the blended milk replacer to be
reconstituted more quickly when needed.  Mix 23.5 grams of powder with 76.5
grams of water or 1.00 volume of powder to 1.5 volumes of water to make a
milk of 23.5% solids."
 
As of the quote (1997ish) the cost at Jeffers (1-800-JEFFERS) for 30/55
(#B7-ME-12) of 24 oz. was $14.70.  The 25/13 (#B7-MD-12) of 24 oz. was
$8.75.  I am not sure what the cost is now.
 
Hope this helps!  Let me know if any of you use this!
