Am in-between since not being a subscriber here. Only read a few posts every few months. If a business wants to support ferret shelters, it's their choice and only theirs. We have used Totally Ferret, LAvian, different versions of 8 in1 and Iam Kitten, with a few other brands. The first three our 10 ferrets enjoy eating and we are talking kits from 6-12 months old. Even at 2+ years old, the first three are their choices and the rest is dug out of the bowl. Who are we to say which is a better food for the ferret to eat. Started with LAvian, went to 8 in 1 and then Totally Ferret. All will eat them along with Iams. Have got to tell you, add liquid vitamin E and you might be shocked in their fur coat. We are totally amazed with the food and added vitamin E every two weeks makes their fur as soft as, well don't know. Have never toughed soft fur in my life. This is our opinion and only ours. lod [Posted in FML issue 3396]
