Would you and your ferrets benefit form severe weather notices?  We just
did this week when we got some of the ferrets' meds a bit early before
today's storm.  Here is a notice I got that allows me to pass it along:

Cherie first introduced me to this service and it has come in useful for
the ferrets and for us multiple times over.
 
If you look in the References Section at
http://www.ferretcongress.org/
you'll find places with assorted values for a number of the foods.
Actually, there are a lot of very useful references there on many ferret
things and updates are done regularly when more good ones are found.
 
Brenda, I think that you are thinking much more clearly than the vet tech
is.  It's not like food manufacturers think, "Gee let's put nutrient A,
B, and C in these pieces of kibble, and Nutrients D, E, and F in these
other pieces, and then let's dump the rest of the nutrient types into
this last batch.  When in doubt ask your vet, of course.
 
A mix of foods is especially useful for critters like ferrets who are
usually hard to introduce to new foods.

Steve did the art work, and the colors work best on Macs.  The
performance was by an Oberlin student as a gift for Steve when the
ones Steve found didn't satisfy him.
