Someone posted a few days ago asking about a food called "Carnique". The food is very high in protein and fat, and mostly beef based. I would be concerned about the levels of taurine in the food. Taurine occurs naturally in chicken, and most ferret and cat foods either have chicken as a main ingrediant and/or have added taurine. I don't believe there are sufficient levels of taurine in beef for ferrets or cats. If you want to use Carnique as the primary diet, check for added taurine, or get a supplement.
