Hello all! Happy holidays - enjoy! I was wondering if anyone has ever looked at the ingredients of Totally Ferret food? I just did last night after having fed this to my little one's for over 2 years now and I just noticed that the first ingredient was chicken by-product. My point being is that I just got a dog and in the process of learning what to feed my dog (from the vet and pet shop owners), I was told to avoid by-products because they could be anything from ground up intestines (feces and all) to feathers - all of which is not able to be metabolized by animals effectively. Thus, there is no nutritional value associated with these by-products and they just make more waste (like ferrets need to have anymore waste!). I thought that TF was supposed to be premium ferret food (I was also told that premium foods would not contain by-product)? So what's up with that? Does anybody have contrary evidence to suggest that ferrets are able to digest bones, feathers, intestines with feces, beaks, feet - etc and that it is good for them? If not - can anyone recommend a food that would be better for my little ones? Peace and love, Elisa [log in to unmask] Fitz Fuzzit and Tubby Lard [Posted in FML issue 3241]
