When I had a shelter, I once had a little girl come in whose main diet consisted of smelt (a small fish) and Tender Vittles. You should have seen her tear into those little fishes! Rather a nice mess she made. She seemed quite healthy and had a lovely coat. Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult to get her over to a regular ferret food!
