Ethan and Ceili and everybody are talking about food so I will ask my question: I've been feeding Emmett "Mini-Friends Ferret Chow" (PPP) which he loves. Seattle-area price as of last Friday was $5.49 US for a 4-lb. tub. It is also sold in bulk so recyclers can bring their own containers. I chose it because, like cat food, it has a poultry base. There was some other stuff but it was originally designed for mink and has a fish base and smells like it. He's had it for 2 1/2 years. I do not give him as much Ferretone as I did Shasta because she ate cat chow/kitten chow and this stuff has vitamins in it. I await comments etc. Kate Pappas/Emmett Kelly Point-3 [log in to unmask] p.s. Ed Lipinski of Ferrets NorthWest has a recipe for Ferret Soup (*for* ferrets--not *of* ferrets!) which he uses to accustom ferrets to Mini-Friends. He is going to send me a copy which I will post!
