Hi ferret folks, I thought I would add my two cents about the ferret food debate. I used Iams kitten for the first 8 months I had my ferrets. Then decided I would go ahead and try Totally Ferret. I didn't see what all the fuss was about. I mean the ingredients are almost the same. I tried it, and the first thing I noticed was that there was a reduction in the amount of poop in the litter box. Now when we are talking about six ferrets, that is a big difference. Now I only have to clean the main litter box once a day instead of 2 -3 times. A definitely plus in my book. After about a month, I really started noticing a change in their coats. They are much longer, and softer. They had already received their winter coats before I switched. They have all increased in size too. I didn't really notice much of a difference in their stamina or energy, but all six were under a year old then. All six of my ferrets are within six months of each other. All I know is that now the food never gets strewn in the cage anymore. They appear happier and are definitely more luxurious looking. I will never change again. I understand that the main difference between TF and the other foods is the way it is processed.
