Hi to all. Let me first thank all the nice persons that were answering very kindly to my request of advice on Igor's beahviour: The list would be very long, so I'm not going to mention all the names and I e-mailed them directly. I really do appreciate theyr understanding. I have a question about food. When I bought Orietta the pet shop advised to give her the Techni-Cal Kitten Food (made in Canada), and my vet said it was ok. Note that no specific ferret's food was available in that moment (May). So I started with it, in the "dried" version. Last summer was particularly hot here, so I used to give her the canned meat (same brand and type) only a few times per month, in order to avoid decomposition risks. I kept with the same food when Igor came one month later. The shop recently received Fluker's Ferret Diet, and I bought it, mixing it with the remaining Techni-Cal I had at home. They seem to like this food and theyr weights raised from 500 grams to 1,100 (Orietta) and from 1,300 to 2,000 (Igor) since I have them. I also give them every other day a couple of slices of smashed banana. - Do you think this feeding is adequate enough for them ? - Do I have to use only Fluker's or continue to mix it with Tehni-Cal ? - Shall I add something ? - Do you believe that canned food could be better than the dried one ? (now temperature is fresher) - Don't forget that specific ferret's food other than that one cannot actually be found here. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Fulvio [Posted in FML issue 2464]
