I also wondered about the ingredient list after investigating Totally Ferret. I thought I'd pass on some information I found. I'm a relatively new ferret owner and I've been doing some research about ferret foods myself. A good article called "What's in Pet Food: An API Investigative Report" can be found at http://www.api4animals.org/petfood.htm There are also two nice charts listing some percentages and the top 10 ingredients of ferret and premium cat foods for kits/adult/senior ferrets at http://ferret-world.clayton.edu/Docs/foodchartp1.html http://ferret-world.clayton.edu/Docs/foodchartp2.html A quick note about these charts. Notice that they include 1-800 numbers for the companies. I called the companies and asked for free samples and catalogs. I got samples from about 8 of the companies including a 3 pound bag of Kaytee Ferret Food. I will make a comment that the food I decided on was Innova Feline. I chose it primairly because it had the necessary percentages of protein and fat, and all three of the first three ingredients were meat. If the food you choose is not available locally, here are three internet stores that offer ferret foods/supplies. The Ferret Store even has free shipping. A big plus in my book. :) http://www.TheFerretStore.com http://www.ferretout.com/index.asp http://www.lambriarvet.com/catalog/ferret.htm Hope all of this helps! Good luck with your ferrets.
