The Ferret Health List can not endorse feeding kitten food to your
ferret. I haven't checked the thread to see if anyone else responded
on this one. A Ferret does not have the same nutritional needs as a
feline, they are not even related.

The ease and availability of such quality foods as Sheppard & Greene,
Totally Ferret, Zupreme, Mazuri. The list goes on and on.

Of course anyone who noticed fish oil in the kitten food list of
ingredients probably held their nose and shuttered. Experience has
taught all of us (ok, Marshall farms taught us) if you put fish
anything in the front in of a ferret, nasty stuff comes out the back.
Not to mention the smell.
