Subject: [ferrethealth] Re: ferret needs to slim down - ideas??
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

Marshell Ferret has a brand for seniors now that is lower cal.
also Ferrets have sensitive tummies so changing their food may affect it. and sometimes it will take a while for a ferret to get used to new food so i would suggest trying it slowly. a good compounding pharmacy might have some advice as they usually compound meds for pets and might advise on how to easily change over the diet.

[I don't understand the final statement.
Does this mean to see about buying
flavoring?

A number of companies have senior foods,
and once a ferret is on a balanced diet
it may make sense to not allow that ferret
more than a tiny taste of soup since the
ferret is already on ferret foods so not
at need of extra calories, just of having
a reminder taste now and then.
