Hi Mai,
>From the description on their website (99%+ meat)
you would think it is meat and <1% water. However when
you read the ingredients (sprouts, blueberries, apples, plums,
barley, wheat, kelp, seaweed, and artichoke) you quickly see
that it has alot of stuff that ferrets do not need. The analysis
that they list would indicate more than 20% carbohydrates.
At $15 per pound, it would be cheaper to buy steaks, or
chicken, or turkey for your ferrets. You might consider
Pretty Bird's Natural Gold for Ferrets instead. It has 50%
protein and only roughly 5% carbohydrates.
Hope that helps,
