Just a quick comment about ferret food. I know of two vets in Madison, WI. who specialize in ferrets. Both recommend Totally Ferret. My vet thinks that MF food is too greasy. One thing for sure, I think it smells awful and found it difficult to keep in my house without stinking like ripe garbage. I have two MF ferrets-Ferret Bueller age 4, and Houdini age 1. They are on a diet of half Totally Ferret and half Biljac Kitten Food-but any premium kitten food should be O.K. It helps cut the cost of feeding exclusively Totally Ferret. Ferret Bueller and Houdini have beautiful coats and are very energetic. I bought a 20lb. bag of Totally ferret for almost $40 and it can be stored in a canister in a cool location (or in a freezer if available.) Mix it with another premium kitten food and store that in a canister that you will be replenishing their feed from. Depending on the size and appetites of your ferrets, the Totally Ferret can last a long time and be more cost effective when mixed. [Posted in FML issue 1767]
