I would rather see Ferretvite (or maybe Furovite?) instead of Nutrical. I know for certain that Ferretvite contains taurine, and essential nutrient for ferrets and Nutrical does not. I am not sure whether Furovite has this amino acid in its ingredients or not. I really don't have an opinion about the honey/karo syrup issue other than for insulomic (?sp) ferrets it might be better for a quick sugar source than the others above?
