The first 3 ingredients are Chicken meal, Sweet potatoes, Peas, The last I knew Sweet Potatoes and Peas are not meat, they are vegetables and ferrets can not digest vegitables. Grain free doesn't mean vegetable free. We looked at it when it came out and decided that it was really bad for ferrets and we refuse to get any. We feed a mix of Zupreem and Shepherd and green food.
