I am sure the answers from the FML were wide ranged but I can assure you that no one tried to confuse you and are only offering their personal opinion as I will, we offer our options and then let you make a personal choice although I am sure some wouldn't mind telling you what to do. Why raw meat? I remember when I was a kid my dad fed my Germen Shepard raw meat and the reason I was given was that the dog was a hunter and a Guard dog, I know today that I can feed my dogs many different kinds of kibble and wet feeds that they can thrive on so I prefer not to pay the extra cost. I guess when I got my first ferrets and it was time to find a feed I just wanted to know that they had a well balanced diet and would do well on what I could find in my area, I don't often find myself in the kitchen wondering if I should put a couple scraps of raw food away for my fuzzies because they do so well on the balanced diet of (ferret feed) I give them so I figure why think about the raw meat option at all. Have fun and enjoy them fuzzbutts [Posted in FML issue 2323]
