Folks, I use Science Diet for all the critters, but I generally recommend that ferrets get a mixture of foods, both kitten, cat, and ferret, including all the premium brands i.e. Iams, ANF, etc. This way if something becomes unavailable, the finicky beasts already have available alternatives ( I recommend variety for my reptile patients too, <BG>).
