I decided to conduct a small taste test to see what my ferrets really like to eat. Although it's more than likely not indicative of what your ferret's tastes will be, I still thought you might be interested. So, here's the results... I conducted this test with 8 different types of food. I put 1/3 cup of each in seperate bowls, then just watched the order in which they were consumed. You should also note, that there were only two subjects, Percy and Bree. Here's the order in which they were consumed: Max Cat - adult Max Cat - kitten Pro Plan - growth Nip Chee Crackers (Hey!! Where did they come from??? O.K., I never said this was scientific... :-) ) Iams - adult Iams - kitten Purina Ferret Chow Science Diet - kitten Bil Jac - adult The first three (four) were consumed fairly sequentially, showing a definite preference for each. The last five had quite a bit of overlapping. I then tested whether or not they liked Brewer's yeast on their food. Both bowls were consumed at approximately the same rate. I should mention that my two girls aren't very finnicky. Their usual diet is a mixture of about two or three different kinds of food that I buy, plus whatever samples I happen to have around the place. And, I've been mixing Brewer's yeast into their food for about the last six months. They also regularly get to "sample" whatever the humans happen to be eating, and whatever they manage to pilfer from around the house (Nip Chee Crackers, for example... :-) ). ------ Did anyone else catch the insult in Kevin Costner's "Robin Hood", where the sheriff says to the scribe "It's the ONLY road to London, you FERRET!"? :-) - Nancy Nancy Hartman CIS graduate student [log in to unmask] U. of Delaware President and founder, Delaware Valley Ferret Club Owner of Percy & Bree [Posted in FML 0200]
