This kibble is made for ferrets rather than adapted from cat or dog formulas, taking into account their shorter digestive tract and higher protein needs. The recipe draws on several animal protein sources plus egg, spirulina and taurine, and is fortified with vitamins and minerals to round out daily nutrition. Because it leaves out added fish meal, the finished pellets and resulting waste tend to carry less odor in the cage. Each pellet is uniformly shaped so ferrets cannot easily pick around specific ingredients. The bag comes ready to serve directly into a feeding bowl, with no assembly or preparation needed. Owners are directed to keep the bowl filled since ferrets graze throughout the day, to wash the bowl and refresh the food daily, and to keep fresh water available at all times. Unopened portions should be resealed and kept in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
