To Jon & Veda, I give Rocky canned cat food occasionally. He likes Nutro "Savory Hunter's Stew with Duck." It has the following ingredients: Turkey Broth, turkey, chicken, chicken giblets, wheat gluten, lamb liver, chicken liver, duck, lamb, wheat flour, salt, guar gum and carrageenan, DL methionine, and all the vitamins too numerous to list. Also garlic powder is listed somewhere in the middle of the vitamins. Bob would know better, but this brand might be better for ferrets because it has more meat and no vegetables or fruit. Rocky also likes the "Beef and Egg" flavor. He's not sick, but he's an incredibly fussy eater, so you might try this brand with your babies if Bob thinks it's better. Nutty Rocky also wants me to make it soupy for him. If he could, I think he'd live on a liquid diet. However he has no problem eating any form of treats! Go figure. I bet Rocky would like your brand since it has sweet stuff like apples and carrots in it, but then he probably won't like the one without that stuff. Don't you wish they'd come out with some good canned ferret food in a variety of flavors? Rocky wouldn't eat that one brand of canned ferret food. You'd think with all the ferrets in this country, some company would do it. It would make them a lot more money than the dry stuff. Maybe we should start a writing campaign to the better ferret food makers to develop a good quality canned ferret food. Rocky could be one of their tasters--he hates everything. (Except Bob's Chicken Gravy, which he'd like to live on. In fact, they should consult with Bob on the recipe.) I don't mind making chicken gravy--in fact I enjoy it because I like to cook in general-- but each batch kills a blender. And if you have a lot of ferrets, you'd be making it every week. I hope this is helpful to you. Good luck. Shron & Rocky [Posted in FML issue 4215]
