Pamela,
 
It seems from the hundreds of ferrets which have passed through here in the
past few years that once a ferret is taken off a fish based diet and ut on a
chicken based diet-- it doesn't ever want to go back!  Now that may just be
my interpretation ( human at that) of the ferrets presentation.  BUt numbers
convince me.  The Kaytee does have a fish base as do a few other ferret
foods.  They are also lower in fat.  The chicken based foods ( quality vet
grade diets) have as much if not more protein in a chicken base-- they
usually have more fat.  Fat is a necessary ingredient in the ferret diet.
 
Perhaps this explains why your kid took to the ProPlan over Kaytee.
