Product Information
Ferret Complete is not only healthy and nutritious, it is also very tasty. Coated in delicious turkey gravy and made in their favourite star shape, it is irresistible to ferrets. The food is recommended by a wide variety of clubs, societies and rescue centres. Notably, National Ferret Welfare Society, International Ferret Welfare of Great Britain and the National Ferret School. Fat is a principal source of energy for ferrets, so fat is a vital ingredient in their nutrition. Ferret Complete has a high fat level of 19%, derived mainly from turkey fat and fish meal. The food also includes ground whole linseed for soft, shiny coat Since ferrets are carnivores, their primary protein source must be meat. But they have higher energy needs and a shorter digestive tract than cats or dogs. Plus their digestions are relatively inefficient at absorbing vegetable proteins. So ferrets derive little benefit from the corn and soya protein sources found in many cat and dog foods. By contrast, the main protein source in Ferret Complete is fine quality turkey meat meal, to give the correct higher protein level of 36% that ferrets needs.
