Hi there. Colleen, I know what you mean about the ferret chow being unappetizing. Coco likes dig in it. If I feed her food that she doesn't like for whatever reason, mostly the dry stuff, she will dig it out of her dish all over the floor. She sometimes also goes under the dish(it is attached to the side of her cage) and scratch the underside until it tips and dumps the food outside the cage. She's happy with the moister of the "dry" foods especially with a squirt of ferretone for seasoning. Charlie, stick around and you will hear enough stories to fill a book around here. We'd sure like to hear yours. Good luck to you, your wife and Jasmine from me and Coco. Enrique [Posted in FML issue 0632]
