As far as feeding ferrets on cat / kitten food my ferrets have been fed on it for the past 8yrs due to it being convenience on my part, I can only get dry ferret food when I visit friends and it cost about twice that of the cat breeder's mix I get. I have twelve ferrets that have eaten it for the best part of their lives and I even started feeling guilty about feed my ferrets on it, after being hounded around the internet by some people here in the UK who insisted that it was not good to feed ferrets on it, but as my present ferrets are aged between 2yrs and 10yrs I can't see that I am going to far wrong, and my oldest ferret died in Febuary this year five days before her 15th birthday.
