Bravo, Leanne, I couldn't have said it better myself. I've been using Natural Gold for several years, in fact I was one of the folks that tested the first run of it. The poops with that first batch were pretty bad, so they tweaked the formula a bit and the poops were greatly improved. I mix NG with Evo, and my ferrets love the mix. In the years I've been feeding NG, my now 6+ year old ferrets still act like kits. I've only had a couple of cases of insulinoma in my ferrets that were already 3+ when I started the NG. So far, no new cases. My oldest ferret now is 8. She is adrenal, but so far, knock on wood, no insulinoma. I also have a 7 year old, again adrenal and no insulinoma. All of my ferrets have soft, silky coats, and great muscle tone. And now have 3 whole prey eaters, and hopefully the others will take to it as well. I really notice a big difference in the shelter kids that come in on Marshall's or other high carb foods. Flabby ferrets, terrible coats, no energy. I put them on a mix of NG and EVO, and within two weeks I notice a difference. Yes, their stools are softer and will have a stronger odor for a few weeks while their systems adjust, but it's something I'm willing to deal with since it means a healthier ferret. Yep, I'll take loose poops and healthy ferrets over more formed poop and insulinoma any day.
