Ferret Supplies

I was using the Marshall brand originally, then did some research on the ingredients and found that this is actually healthier for them. I made the switch and all 6 of my ferrets love it! Not to mention its a lot cheaper too!

After getting our three ferrets I went along and purchased Marshall food...then I purchased Zupreem afterwards...let me tell you one thing I noticed about those two (even though they are rated really highly by others) the fuzzies poop stunk REALLY REALLY BAD! And the consistency of it was terrible (especially considering how often you clean up after them!) Then I read a review from another person who had tried the same foods as I had and had the same results until she tried 8 in 1! The poop isn't as smelly and the consistency is a bit harder so its easy to pick up...thank GOD I tried it...you won't be sorry!

I lost my job for almost 2 years and had four fuzzies to care for. I would have been lost had I given them up and luckily I had a family member not want to see me lose them either. This food while not the best helped. It was affordable and even paying twice this price at chain pet stores, the girls were happy. I mixed it with a cheaper kitten chow and they made by just fine on this diet. No coat loss, weight loss, runny poo, or any other issues people are stating. I've had my girls on a mixture of Marshall's and Zupreem (Vet recommended) and they not only STUNK to high heaven, they had awful poops. EVO isn't available in my area and other ferret diets are horrid. I now (working full time again) mix this in with 8-1 Ultimate Crunchy diet and they do great. I have picky eaters and they love this stuff. I wouldn't recommend using this alone for months at a time in their diet, but heck I've still met "ferret lovers" feeding their fur kids raisins by the handful, cucumbers, bananas, and a whole mess of other stuff ferrets shouldn't eat so I can't see this food being all that bad. If your ferret has a bad reaction to a food product see your vet and take them off it! Make sure you're feeding the right level of protein and fats and try to get the best food possible. Using this as an easy filler to make what little of the quality food you buy last isn't too bad of an idea. I even make sure they get outside vitamin supplements to keep their little insides happy and healthy as added protection.

When I first adopted my ferrets I started them on this food. They loved it! Then due to the fact that the nearest store that sold it was an hour drive away I had to switch to a brand that a local feed store carried. BIG MISTAKE! Shortly after one of my fuzzies developed pancreatic tumors...so I switched yet again to a different brand...EVO. Now my fuzzies have beautiful coats, but my males are overweight! As per vet recommendation, I'm going to start mixing this in with their EVO to help get their weight down and make their poops less runny.

I have had ferrets for the last 6 years and tried this food for I don't know what reason but I almost lost two of my ferrets after switching to this garbage. They lost so much weight and the dehydration that followed has cost me over $500 in vet bills. This food is trash. I don't recommend it for the raccoons who dug it out of my garbage. Switched my kids immediately back to their old food and they are different ferrets - health is still on the mend but we are getting there. Save yourself the heartache and vet bills - buy a better quality food.

My ferrets love it. The ingriedents are not that great. I wont stop feeding it. I know how much they like it. I mix in a better quality food with it and were both happy. I am a big fan of Evo it's well worth the money. 75% evo 25% other

I started buying it because it was cheaper, but my ferret lost weight and started scratching a lot and his coat started loosing some of its sheen. I switched back to the old food and he's back to normal.

I've been feeding my seven fuzzies this product for about 2 1/2 years. They love the taste and I like the reasonable price. I've shopped around for a high protein diet for them, but unfortunately found that no one single ferret food fills every single nutritional need. It's like us eating only broccoli every day and nothing else (Good for you but nutritional gaps will occur. Variety is necessary) So, I simply mix my 8-N-1 with high protein Purina Kitten Chow (50% each). Weeks after I started doing that, their coats became extremely shiney and softer-WOW!!! I also offer them Marshall's. So, what they don't get nutritionally from one food, they will get from the other varieties. My ferrets really enjoy the flavor, and they are alo very healthy.

Besides Kaytee brand this is the worst you can buy for your ferrets. Look at the first 3 ingrediants, By-product (ok but not the best),corn (terrible, terrible) and then flour base. ANY diet with corn listed in the first 3 is the worse, why? Corn provides protein which is good but unfortunately corn protein is NOT digestable by ferrets and they do not asorb enough of protein thru corn. The only good thing about this product is that it is cheap! But does price override your pets health? I would not recommend this to ANY ferret owner, look into spending a bit more, your ferret's health will thank you for it.

I've been feeding this to my 5 ferrets for months thinking that it HAD to be really good because it's made specifically for ferrets. I did notice that 2 of my ferrets have lost weight since switching to this food. I read another review that said the same thing. I think I'll be looking for a new food now also. The price on here is much better than PETCO though. Their cost for a 5 lb. bag is $15.99.
