To Karl Meyer: I'm not sure why you think Totally Ferret has to be refrigerated - there are a number of foods - including Iams Feline Lamb and Rice as well as the Proplan line, that are naturally preserved, and none of the bag instructions recommend refrigeration. I don't toss any of the food at the end of the day - I do toss crumbs, but not whole uneaten food - and I've been using naturally preserved foods since 93 - I've never had a problem with rancid food or sick ferrets from eating unrefrigerated food. The only food I've ever refrigerated is baby food. Where did you get this info from? Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA Rochester, NY [Posted in FML issue 1573]
