I have a question regarding the different brands of items that are offered in the pet stores. Other than the food, is there really a difference between the different brands of ferret items? Here are a couple of examples. Ear cleaner -- Marshall's or Shepherd & Green. Ferretone -- Marshall's or 8-in-1. The vitamin paste -- Marshall's or 8-in-1. So on and so forth. Also, are the ferret treats I see in the pet stores okay for ferrets or should I stick with small pieces of cheerios, raisins, fish, etc. I figure the commercial ferret treats would just be a lot easier to give and I'd always be able to have them on hand (with little effort). I've even seen a couple marketed as vitamin suppliments and one for skin & coat. Janice [Posted in FML issue 4325]
