Dear Janice, In regards to your question as to which brands are better, I can only tell you that treat-wise, my ferrets prefer 8-in-1. The Ferretvite is more pasty, and doesn't get all over everything. It's cleaner and they can eat it easier, without getting it all over their whiskers. The Furo-vite on the other hand, is separated, and the oil gets all over EVERYTHING. It's funny watching them try to maneuver it into their mouths without getting sticky strings all over their face. With that said, I think that Ferretvite is the better of the two. My girls also really like the new Vitamin and Skin an Coat Treats by 8-in-1. They're low in sugar content, and healthier than say fruit or cereal. They think they're getting a treat, I say they're getting healthy. A win-win situation. When I was recently getting my ferrets professionally photographed, The only way I could get Nibbles to sit still was to shake a Yogies can. My best picture of her ended up with her standing behind the Yogies can with her foot in the air. When I get a website I'll post the picture online. I actually sent the pic to 8-in-1, and they're sending me a box of goodies for my guys. They obviously are customer friendly. Just suggestions from a biased consumer. Sincerely, Sara and the Fab Four [Posted in FML issue 4328]
