Hi everyone, I've been following the comments regarding ferret foods and diets (Totally Ferret, Marshalls, etc.), but I don't think that anyone has made any reference to the Ferret World Web page entitled "What to feed ferrets" (http://www.csc.peachnet.edu/~rpoore/ferrets/food.html). It states that, "If Totally Ferret is not available to you, a decent diet that is not expensive is: one-third Purina Cat Chow (original formula), one-third Purina Kitten Chow (original formula), and one-third Whiskas." For those of us that are on a budget, but still want to give our ferrets a nutritious, well-balanced meal, is this diet sufficient? If so, is it only sufficient at certain life stages? In other words, should it be modified as they get older and their metabolism slows? Many thanks to all responses. M.T. Callahan [Posted in FML issue 1458]
