TO: Melanie Suzanne Pacella I checked a bag of Friskies Kitten Food and there are some problems with using it as ferret food. The first problem is the fat content, it is only 9%. Ferrets need a fat content in their diet between 20 and 30%. The second problem that I noticed is that the first ingredient is Ground Yellow Corn, this means that even though the protein content is 35% a good portion of this is plant protein. Ferrets need animal protein. I recommend you change to another diet, I use Totally Ferret and the kids love it (call 1-800-843-1738 to locate a store near you or to find out how to order it). TO: Dr. Bruce Williams Condolences to you on your loss of Oscar. [Posted in FML issue 1106]
