The protein in that stuffs soya , not animal, it wont keep the ferrets urine ascidic enough possibly causing struvite sones to build up I feed my ferret on dry cat food, it says it's got rabbit and duck in it. He also gets fresh rabbit, hare, road kill sqirrels etc. I had a jill live to 14 years on the same sort of diet, always has fresh water of course

I did the same thing as you many years ago. I think the best thing is to go in on your own and see the main man, he should sort it out, they don't want bad publicity, but make sure someone knows where you're going in case it turns bad. Don't go in with a gang unless you're prepared to go to war.

Granted the guy wasn't sure it worked as he'd never tried it.. only used the terrier collar which works fine lol but we dont NEED one of them .. figures eh ?
