I agree it isn't a food to be given as the only food given, but it's okay to put in the mix from time to time. That's all I meant. I feed my ferrets very well, some of the foods I feed you may not have heard of some you have , My ferrets are used to eating (over several years) totally ferret, wysong, marshal farms, mazurri ferret diet, Iams kitten (who have changed their formula from it's original), Purina One kitten and many others. Purina is a little part of a mixture. That's it. sometimes it's Purina kitten and sometimes it's Purina One kitten. Over the years, my mixute has changed. I'm not sure of what you feed yours, what brands? but there are many foods out there that are good and some not so good. It doesn't have to say for a "ferret" to be good food either. We cannot control what other people feed their ferrets, In a perfect world, I would hope that all ferret owners feed their ferrets the very best, but do we even know which is the best anymore? The thing is..this is not a perfect world, so people are out there feeding their ferrets much worse than Purina kitten. But if we took all of the ferrets away from the owners who were not feeding them the very best, then the ferret shelters would be much fuller than they are now. Are we going to start telling dog and cat owners what they should feed their dogs and cats or take them away from them or tell them they shouldn't own a pet? No You're right, the FML is to educate ferret owners , etc. but I don't want to keep fighting over something that I think was just a misunderstanding. I think you thought that was all I fed my ferrets and I run out of food and that I recommend the kitten chow to people, Which none of these are the case. Truce....(white flag waving) :-) (love the smiley and kitten ) have a safe and Happy New Year (I'm done with this issue now) :-) Friends? Sue [Posted in FML 6926]
