I just finished reading an article in the May/June issue of Ferrets Magazine regarding Ferret specific foods. It was extremely interesting and informative. The very topic of Ferret Foods vs. Kitten foods was discussed at length. One thing to consider is not just the percentage of protein the food contains but also the source of the protein, and also how the food itself is produced. I won't go into a lengthy post about the article but I think it's well worth reading. Connie Distributor for Natural Gold Ferret Food [Posted in FML issue 4835]
