and list me the best ferret food?

Answer 1

The best option for your ferret is a dry food similar to cat biscuits or kibble. You don't want to feed your ferret dog food because it isn't nutritionally balanced for a ferret. However, you can find good quality ferret pellets and premium cat food that is balanced well for a ferret. Many ferrets become finicky eaters and would rather starve then try something new, so it is often a good idea to give your ferret a mix of three or more types of food in case one might not be available in the future.

Your food should be about 30-40% protein and 20-25% fat. It should be low in sugar and fiber. Most high quality cat foods will follow this as well as most ferret foods. You will also want to check and make sure that meat, meat meal, poultry, and/or eggs are somewhere near the top of the ingredients list.

Answer 2

You should be feeding your ferret Ferret Kibble. There is no one 'Best Food' available, people will recommend all sorts of different brands, but what you should look for in a ferret kibble is to make sure that it is composed of at least 20%fat and 34% animal protein.

One of the first three ingredients should be an animal, like chicken or beef.

If you can't find a kibble with these requirements, you can always try a HIGH QUALITY kitten food, not the cheap stuff.
