Hi All! I attended an Exotic Animal Fair at the Valley Forge Convention Center in PA on Sat. and learned that the AFA has been testing a food developed specifically for ferrets and that it will be available through them very soon!! This is not a glorified mink chow or a revamped cat food but a food developed and tested on ferrets for ferrets. it's called Totally Ferret and it's made by Performance Foods. Dr. Willard was there (he developed the food). He's had over 20 experience as an animal nutrionist. The main ingredient is poultry by-product meal. Contents are 36% protein and 22% fat. After talking to the people manning the AFA booth, I have decided to switch mine as soon as the food is available. So far they have not had any ferret refuse to eat it. In fact when they mixed it with cat food the ferrets ate the ferret food first! They had a six year old ferret there who had been on the food for the past year. She had the coat and muscle tone of a 3 year old. For more information you can call Performance Foods at 1-800-843-1738. As soon as the food is available through the AFA I will post again.
