Mother of 2 (ferrets) from Eastern NC
Being that my ferrets are extremely picky eaters (and I've heard that most are) I find it hard to find dry food they will eat. I have found 3 they will tolerate, and I have witnessed them actually picking this food out of the other two foods! One of my ferrets will not eat out of the bowl, so he digs out what he is going to eat. As soon as my other lazy ferret hears the recognizable sound of the food hitting the floor, he comes running. This is the first food they both pick out! Then they leave the other two laying around until they have no other choice but to eat it ;)
Nutritionally, it seems to have everything that ferrets require in their diet as well.
Lastly, it is true what everyone says about this food helping to diminish cage odor. I don't know how it works, but it does!
I definitely recommend this food to other fur-butts :)

This product is great , its what I've been feeding my ferrets since I brought them home from the pet store almost 8 years ago. I've tried swithcing brands to give them some variety but they don't like it as much. It's a great price for a great product. I highly recommend it.

We have 8 woozies, all of whom are rescues. They were mostly fed cat food when we got them. After trying Marshalls and Zupreem, we have returned to the S&G. They all love it, have soft, full coats and lots of energy. I only wish I could get it in bulk, we go through 4 to 6 bags a month.

We have 8 furbies: 3 females and 5 males. All of our little ones love this food and seem to be doing very well on it after about 3 months. Our littlest female, who had ulcers, eats this food and has rebounded, gained weight and has a nice, soft coat. All of them have good energy, eat it well, and have thick, soft coats. Litter smell is down compared to Marshalls and Zupreem. Only wish we could get larger quantities, I have to order 3-4 bags at a time.

All my ferrets since my first were feed Sheppard & Greene Ferret Food. It was recommended at the pet store and my furbies have been healthy, energetic and poop oder is lower than when I tried other brands. Of course I still use bio oder in their water also.

I had all of my gang on this kibble and never took them off of it. They hardly got sick, and when they did it was for short time. They have great fur, skin, bright eyes, strong, healty muscles and a general healthly look. Also minimal if any hairballs. Had them on Marshalls for a bit since our local pet store stop carrying it and they did not touch it with a 10 foot poll. Put the Marshalls and tried the other big boys in thier cage and they looked at me with a curious look. They had to eat it for a bit and then they started to get the "ferret smell" in their poo, pee and fur. Drove about 20 miles to stock up on Sheppard Greene, yes, it was a bit on cash, but you know what . . . their were happier and the "ferret smell" was at a minimum, har could tell we had our gang. Our Ver Dr Adamson was amazed how this kibble Sheppard Greene makes a diffrence in the wellness of the gang of 7, or as we call them the Magnicifent 7.

I had no choice but to feed my fuzzies Marshalls ferret food when I got them from the pet store. They did ok with it but I had to purchase Bio Odor to add to their food to help keep the ordor down. Once I started using Shepard Green I found I no longer needed to buy Bio Ordor and my ferrets love it! I started with two ended up with seven...and now adopted three more from a family that had to move. The new additions had no problem switching over and their coats are now soft and fluffy. One was missing hair and that has now grown back. Oh on two of the new additions are not decented and they do not smell anything like they use too. I recommend this food over anything I have tried!

All three of my fuzzys love this food. Their potty box oder has decreased and they have more energy. When I was feeding them another brand they were smelly and sluggish. Your fuzzys will gobble this stuff up so keep a couple bags on hand. Worth every penny.
