Yes it is, the higher cream content the better.

No it does not, liquidised raw fresh meat, eggs and creamy milk works much
better for my non lactose intolerant ferrets as any cooking degrades food..

Why give a ferret a chemical stew when a perfectly natural product works far
better.

Ferret are designed to digest milk and do it perfectly well if they are used
to drinking it. I've kept ferrets alive with milk when they could not even
keep warmed water down.

Allowing a ferret to remain lactose tolerant makes life so much easier for
the owner and can save the life of a ferret in time of illness. Chris
