Hi everyone!

Could you please share with us with your experience re feeding ferrets. We
argue about this topic a lot. Many people suppose that we should feed our
ferrets with natural food (it's fresh, you know what is is exactly - no
chemical,preservatives,etc.), another think that the special ferrets food is
the better way (it's better balanced, contains enough vitamins/minerals
quantity, etc. - it is more difficult to achieve using natural). What is
more healthy way?

Russian ferrets owners (and I'm from Russia) has little experience in
ferrets at all. And we often face with a problem we can't cope with.
For example often we can't explain neural tube defects and spinal
deformities which appears from time to time at ferret babies.

I'd appreciate to receive an answer from you!
Thank you in advance,
Julia
