All the recent discussion on the list of Iams and food ingredients has gotten me doing a little web-based research, which has turned up an interesting option I've never seen mentioned here. Has anyone ever tried "Home Made 4 Life" ferret food? It's apparently a complete food, made from raw, human-grade chicken or lamb meat combined with other fresh, raw ingredients, and sold frozen. I found it at: http://www.pets4life.com/h4l.html They make foods for cats, dogs, and ferrets, and will even formulate special needs diets. As for Iams and Eukanuba - I've been feeding my weasels a mix of Totally Ferret and Eukanuba Kitten, sometimes some Iams Kitten tossed in. I am by no means an expert on ferret nutrition, and from reading the ingredients/nutrition information on the bags I can't see why Totally Ferret is better than Eukanuba - the first ingredient on the TF bag is chicken by-product, where in Eukanuba it is chicken. Unless the way the ingredients are listed is deceiving, the Eukanuba seems to be higher in meat-based ingredients as well. Can someone better educated in this matter please enlighten me?
