Hi can understand the problem with distributors, but this was very scary for us. Being in rescue, this is the only food I order for my ferrets. I cannot afford to do the food mix. I am on the Catered Pet Program, I automatically get 60 pounds sent out every other week. My order is not scheduled to be shipped till April 10, however I did order some Ferret Store Original Friday and it arrived Tuesday. Go figure. I ended up ordering some Totally Ferret and you talk about getting down to empty bowls, it came in right in time. I may need to have a serious back up plan...YIKES JoAnn, VP Ferret Friends, Inc.
