We have been using Mazuri food with our ferrets...The shelter we got Eddie from has been using it a long time. She had tried alllllll foods and found that her sick ferrets became healthier faster and the ones that were not sick became even more livlier on the Mazuri food. It has a higher protein and fat content than other foods. Since gettin our new kit Chester, i have noticed that his fur became MUCH softer after being put on the Mazuri...I would recommend this food BIG TIME. The shelter also told me that it helped the ferrets get through ECE alot easier.... Heather [Posted in FML issue 1917]
