Best Answer

This isn't a food sold in the US, so I'm not as familiar with it.

Looking at the ingredients, it seems to be a decent food, though the fact that the second ingredient is wheat is concerning, though it could be there just as a binder. It does make the fiber content high, I usually try to stay around 3% or less. I'd also prefer to see something with a few more meat ingredients. Perhaps you could supplement with raw meat/ meat soups.

Ingredients: Chicken Meal (Min 37%), Wheat, Herring Meal, Poultry Fat, Linseed, Beet Pulp, Maize, Dried Egg, Fructo-Oligosaccharides.

Moisture 9%, Protein 36%, Oils and Fats 19%, Fibre 4%, Ash 9.5%.

What is the difference between a black-footed ferret and a domestic ferret?

The difference between a black-footed ferret and a pet ferret is that Black-footed ferrets are the only ferret species native to North America and are a different species than ferrets kept as pets, which are from the European Polecat Ferret. The two ferrets are related along with the Siberian polecat ferret which lives in northern China and Mongolia. Black-footed ferrets physically differ from pet ferrets mostly in their fur. Black-footed ferrets always black feet, face mask and tail tip with a creamy/buff colored body. The fur on a black-footed ferret is shorter than that of pet ferrets, thus they look less fuzzy.

What do ferrets eat naturaly?

Ferrets are carnivores so in the wild they eat meat but they have been bred to eat specially made ferret food. added : domestic ferrets, the ones you keep as pets, cannot and do not survive in the wild. They are 100% dependant on humans for food and shelter. There has never been, in recorded history, a case of a domestic ferret becoming feral. When a domestic ferret is "released" into the wild, it soon dies by predation, or starvation. The "wild" ferret is properly called the North American Blackfooted Ferret, and is highly endangered and protected. They were once thought to have become extinct, but have been reintroduced through a captive breeding and release program. It is illegal to own or bother a blackfooted ferret. In the wild, the blackfooted ferret eats mainly prairie dogs, (and then lives in their burrows)or any other animal it can overpower. Domestic ferrets, the ones kept as pets, should be fed a high protien diet of high quality meat-based cat food. They should NOT be fed dog food, as it does not contain enough nutrient for ferrets. Raw uncooked meats, such as beef, and chicken are also appreciated by domestic pet ferrets.
