Dear Ferret Folks- Well, it's a new year. And if I can find some way to do it, I'm thinking of formulating a new ferret diet made from poisonous houseplants, potting soil, dog, cat, and fish food, candy canes, poultry 'by-products,' cat poop, (feline by-products?) cream cheese, ice cream, yogurt, chocolate, used feminine hygiene articles, french fries, Red Bull, root beer, ham, Elaine's famous cherry pineapple dump cake and tooth paste. Oh, yeah. It will need some 'dietary ash', whatever that is and taurine, monosodium glutamate, EDTA, red dye numbers 5 and 3, sodium laurel sulfate, and powdered emu lips to appeal to that "organic" market. They like exotic sounding things like tea tree oil and blue-green algae. I guess I could throw those in, too. And some soy protein. You can't go wrong with soy. I'm going to bake the kibbles (I considered a concentrated powder, but face it, people like the convenience of kibble) into little triangles to resemble tiny corner pans. And I'm gonna make a miiilion dollars selling it to anyone silly enough to believe that I free-feed any of the above mentioned ingredients to my boys. Happy New Year, start putting some cash aside. I'm not going to accept PayPal. Alexandra in MA [Posted in FML 6929]
