---Hey there Tough Love,
One person suggested to me to mix 3 different kinds of ferret
food,this way if one was out or that line discontinued then you have
2 others to fall back on just in case with out changing their habits
and going through a quick change and stressing the both of you out!
Although in your case it is them saying no more TF! They may not be
eating it because you may have a bag that has gone bad, this has not
happened to me personally with the Totally ferret but a few of my
friends have experienced it through the shippers not storing it
correctly in the warehouse. If the bag smells somewhat normal then it
should be fine but if it smells sour just not right you may wanna
return it for a new bag or another brand tell they get a new shipment.
Otherwise you may have to try another flavor so that you strike an
interest in the crunchy side of ferret food agian then perhaps slowly
mixing in totally ferret agian. Well I hope this helps! Hope I got
the right idea that you were asking for and I hope the best of luck
with your subbing ferts! Sincerely Vex
