Bandits vs. Butler treats: The ingredient list and guaranteed analysis are similar enough on these two products that you can't really tell if one is much better or worse than the other. I would guess that the Butler treat would be fine as an occasional treat for your ferrets. (A note on reading labels--when Dr. Bill Stadler of Mazuri did a talk on food labels at the 2002 International Ferret Symposium in Las Vegas, he showed a slide with 4 or 5 different rabbit foods. Each had alfalfa as the first ingredient, and the next 4 or 5 items varying slightly for each food. They looked similar, but he told us the amount of the primary ingredient varied from something like 16 to about 50% for the different foods. You simply could not tell from the label. But he said all were good foods.) Linda Iroff International Ferret Congress http://www.ferretcongress.org [Posted in FML issue 4899]
