I too just ordered some Path Valley for the first time. My guys are very finicky...even for ferrets. When I tried to mix a TINY bit of TF into the Marshall's they normally eat, they starved themselves.I have tried offering them other foods too, to no avail. (We had hoped to get away from food with fish in it). But when I recently received a free sample of Path Valley ferret food, I offered a little to them...NOT mixed in the other food for fear of a repeat hunger strike :( ... Jasmin acted like it was a wonderful treat, and Pandora liked it so much that whenever I would hand a little to the boys, she would come running out of nowhere, steal it, and run hide to eat it before they could even get it their mouth (which doesn't exactly take a long time..lol). So I mixed in a little into their other food, and even Sterling (the pickiest ferret who ever lived) decided he would *tolerate* picking through and eating Marshall's food that had been contaminated by touching the Path Valley! (If you knew Sterling, that says a LOT! ) Now I checked out the stats on it, and it looks like it has a little less protein than some of the others, but about the same on everything else, and the only meat was chicken.
