Subject: Re: what are people feeding ferts around the world

We are in NE USA and we feed a variety of well-graded kibbles
(Totally Ferret, Ferret Supreme, Marshall, etc.) and some things
of our own making for snacking or supplementing. Two are
entirely on special foods such as feline z/d due to IBD.

Our ferrets are almost always special needs rescues such as
those with illnesses, abuse in thier pasts, etc. The hardest are
the ones with deformities.

When one is sick, things like meat baby foods (lamb, beef, turkey, chicken) and a/d become very important here.

The typical lifespans in our houshold fall between late in the 7th
year into middle of the 8th year, some older and some younger.
