Please introduce gradually. Any sudden change in diet may result in digestive disturbances. Wysong Epigen 90 Digestive Support is a unique formulation, and should be gradually introduced. Over a period of 15 days, mix Wysong Epigen 90 Digestive Support with the present diet beginning at about 10% and then gradually increase proportions. If difficulties arise, return to a smaller percentage and try again. The amount fed should be adjusted to maintain an ideal body weight. Do not overfeed, regardless of the pet's eagerness. Over consumption leading to digestive upset is the most common difficulty pets have adjusting to this highly concentrated, unique nutritional formulation. Ferrets should have fresh food and water available at all times.

When I bought my ferrets they had both been eating Marshall's Ferret Diet, which judging by the ingredients was not the healthiest choice of kibble. Before I switched, my 6mo old girl was a little too skinny, and her coat didn't seem very healthy. After I switched to this food, her coat has become shiny and fluffy, she seems to have gained a little bit of weight. Before switching, the male (about a year old) was dangerously overweight, was lethargic, and had no energy whatsoever. This stuff is amazing! It's a bit pricey, but seeing my ferrets so happy and healthy makes it worth the cost. I will never use another ferret food!

I had been feeding my ferrets Natural Gold, which I thought was a good brand of ferret kibble. On that food, my oldest ferret died from insulinoma at age 6, which prompted me to consider switching foods. Before I switched, my 3 year old ferret had been sleeping more and more as time went on, she wasn't very playful when she was awake, she seemed a little too skinny, and her coat didn't seem very healthy. After I switched to this food, her coat has become shiny and fluffy, she seems to have gained a little bit of weight, and she seems to have more energy and playfulness when she is awake. On top of that, both my ferrets' poops seem to be bigger, healthier looking, and more consistent now.

Ferrets require a minimum of 40% protein and with this being 60%, that tells you that this company knows what's best for these obligate carnivores. But I've noticed that people say their ferrets don't like it or wont eat it... that's because ferrets imprint on their food when they are young so they won't recognize anything different as "food." When transitioning, you have to do it very slowly because 1) not to cause upset stomach 2) ferrets will not eat it unless you trick them in some way. I haven't ordered Wysong epigen 90 DS from Chewy specifically, but I give this to my ferret. It took him close to 3 months to finally transition.

I feed my three ferrets this food and I’ve seen improvements in their health since switching. I love chewy because it’s the cheapest price I’ve seen (since it is a little expensive, but so worth it)

Ferret's being 'obligate' carnivores have no nutritional need for starch, or plant-based ingredients (No plant-based carbohydrates whatsoever). Feeding a kibble that has plant-based "filler" ingredients (like ANY grains, peas, potato, and other non-meat fillers or binders) negatively impacts their health over time. Sadly ferrets have very sensitive digestive systems, and are very prone to certain types of cancer(s) (insulinomas, adrenal, and lymphoma). For this reason plant-based foods should be avoided or limited as much as possible in their diet. This kibble is starch-free, has less than 3% carbohydrates (according to the company's dry matter analysis), is very high in crude protein (animal-based Ferret's being 'obligate' carnivores have no nutritional need for starch, or plant-based ingredients (No plant-based carbohydrates whatsoever).

This is a great food for your ferrets if raw feeding is not an option! My fuzzies love this stuff, their bellies are plump and their fur is shiny! I mix this with wellness core kitten to help add in a bit more fat and it seems to do very well for them.

High quality ferret food, literally the best available food for ferrets. I mix this and one other and my ferrets are happy, healthy, and thriving. If you’re feeding kibble, you need Wysong Epigen 90 DS in your mix!

With ferrets needing a diet with 32-38% protein and this comes in at 60%, fat should be 15-20% and this is 16% - my new ferret is happy. I am curious about the starch free version. May have to look into that. But she was on Marshall's when we got her and mixing a little in to use it up. Switching to a better product should be easy for almost all ferrets. Once Marshall's is gone she will be eating strictly Wysong! Love it

We bought this food after trying a few different brands, all of which didnt have the proper nutrients for our ferrets. They are putting on weight and their coats look better than ever! They are also very picky but took to this food right away!

Hands down the absolute best next to feeding raw! I can't believe how much softer, shinier my ferrets coats are feeding this. A lot less poop too!
