Hello everybody!, My neme is Ethan, and although I've been receiving the ferret-list for a while now, but I haven't posted until today. Before I ask any questions, though, I should mention that I am the extremely proud owner of a cute little tube of fur named Ceili- she's about 6 months old, and she sure as hell brightens my days! And let it also be said that this newsletter (as well as rec.pets) have made for a much better informed owner (me) and a happier pet (that would be Ceili)- so a big thanks! Anyway- I was wondering about what sorts of commercial cat foods poeple are using. I know that Iams and other high-end diets are very good, but alas, I am but a poor student. So, what sees to be a good choice within the realm of cat food you can get at the grocery store? A related question is that the other day, I noticed a cat food that was supposed to lower urinary ph and do something (increase? can't recall) about the magnesium content too. This was apparently good for cats (or sales)- would it be good for ferrets too? Thats all, folks! ethan and ceili [Posted in FML issue 0601]
