I fyour local pet stores don't carry better ferret food consider buying
online. http://www.theferretstore.com carries most of the better
brands, as well as their own. You can get very small bags (i.e: a pound
or less) of a number of foods and see which ones your ferrets will try.
Give it to them as a treat and/or mix a little into their regular food
for them to try. Don't switch their food all at once: they are less
likely to accept it and more likely to have tummy trouble if they do
that way.

Once again, some good ferret foods (and there are probably others):

Totally Ferret
Zupreem Ferret Diet
8-in-1 Ultimate (*not* Ultra)
Mazuri
Path Valley Chicken and Rice
The Ferret Store Superior Choice

Good luck!

All the best,
Caity and the nine picky eaters
