I recently switched our fuzzies' food to Innova Senior Cat. It is pretty hard to find but cost about as much as the "premium" ferret diets. I know all the arguments both for and against kibble, but anything else is impractical for us. So I just try to choose the very best kibble I can find. So far they love it. It took no time at all to move them away for the 8 in 1. It is marketed as a "whole" food kibble and meets all the general requirements for good kibble. It seems to crumble easier and gets stuck in their palette less. I chose the senior for it's shape and crumble, but also because it has 26% protein. I will check the archives, but I'm pretty sure I read that lower protein in older ferrets is preferred. So far, the girls eat more of it, poo more but have trimmed away their blubber and increased their muscle tone. Bebe especially was getting to be a chunk. We often commented that it looked like she was wearing baggy pants. But now she is sleek and tight. Just wondering if anyone else has seen similar improvements?
