what is the best food to feed ferrets anyone

 

[Veer67]

I use Marshalls ferret food it keeps a ferrets coat thick and not scrawny which cheap ferret food does.

IMO the best food for them is a raw diet. However, Marshall's is a decent food.

Thanks u do give them raw rabbit sometimes

I haven't personally given rabbit but I have a friend who has. I have given rats, chicken, and mice before though.

Marshalls is what most pet store ferrets will be fed. Marshall Farms is the large breeder that many ferrets come from. You can tell if you have a Marshalls ferret by the 2 dots tattooed on the ferrets ear.
It is an ok food, but there are better. I recommend Wysong Epigen 90 for high protein. Totally Ferret brand is a favorite among ferret enthusiasts. This food chart is an excellent resource when comparing foods and considering their obligate carnivore needs: http://moredooks.herobo.com/search.php?chart=ferret
