Hi all: Hate to open this "can of worms" again, but I was wondering what we can do to get PetCo to alter the diet they require employees to feed the ferrets. I know we all disagree on the "best" diet for ferrets, but we can all agree that fruits, vegetables and grains are not on the "good" list. I am getting really frustrated going to PetCo for my dog's food and always seeing ferrets with orange slices, lettuce, bananas, carrots and cheerios. I ask the workers to remove these items as they are unhealthy and potentially dangerous for obligate carnivores, but I am told that PetCo corporation requires them to feed their animals this "healthy, balanced diet". Is there a petition we can try again? It just makes me sad to see it. I know the words may sound similar, but ferrets and Parrots have very different nutritional needs. Pet stores should know this...
