I also use Science Diet. My ferrets seem to be very healthy compared to other ferrets I've seen. Thier coats are thicker and they seem to have a little more body wieght than most other ferrets I've seen. I've also strongly recommened Science Diet to alot of people who were first time ferret owners. Brad, Sebastian and Mako. [Posted in FML issue 0654]
