Hello all I know it has been a long time since I last posted. The reason being my ferret has been ill with an ulcer on and off since February 2000. I had to post to let you know what Nutirphase food is. I worked at Petsmart for over four years and will tell you. It is a food for all kinds of animals not made by Petsmart but FOR Petsmart. I will not divulge the company but it is one we have all heard of and are familiar with. As for someone stating 8 in One Ferret food causes ulcers and kidney problems would you have any proof to this since as I said my ferret eats this food since before I even adopted him over two years ago. My vet told me the food was fine and there were no problems he was aware of. If you have some medical proof could you email me it? I really would appreciate it since so far no medication is helping and now has stopped eating and drinking on his own for two weeks. I am giving him his meds (there are over four he has to have a day plus giving him almost two jars of Gerber Stage 2 Turkey Baby food.)I would love to know if what was posted is true about 8 in One.. I wish I had the money to afford Totally Ferret Food but at this time do not. I did ask my vet what food to feed my two ferrets and he did tell me 8 in one was just as good at TF... Thanks for letting me post and please keep Fatbert who is so ill in your prayers. Michele [Posted in FML issue 3160]
