NOTE: Wysong Epigen is made with unprecedented protein levels and a highly nutrient-dense recipe that may not be right for all pets. It is very important that Epigen be introduced gradually as outlined in the Feeding Guidelines in order to help prevent digestive upset, especially when transitioning from a lower-protein diet or one that has been fed continuously over a long period of time.
This product has recently undergone a slight formulation change. Customers may receive the old formulation during this transition.

I decided to try this food based on the reviews because of the problem with my last order of Marshall Select Chicken Dry Food being short a bag. Since the recommendation is to mix when introducing the product, it was an ideal situation. (so I thought) I had to contact the Wysong company to get a better direction on how to introduce a ferret who had been raised only on Marshall dry food. After making a smoothies mix of the food, I was able to get my ferret to eat the food without having to soak wet it. (It took a week of coaching). I noticed a big difference in my ferret. First, this helped his digestive track by eliminating all that upset his gut and eliminated his tendency to be gassy.

First, this helped his digestive track by eliminating all that upset his gut and eliminated his tendency to be gassy. I also noted his eyes were brighter and more alert during the times he is awake. His coat is also glossy and fluffy like it looks after his bath. Another plus is the lack of very musky smell that used to permeate from his body. I am going to switch entirely over to this brand with my next order. … more

When I first adopted my ferret Gizmo, he was being fed Marshall’s. His fur was brittle, patchy, and smelled super pungent. This is common in ferrets but it worsens in ferrets with an unhealthy diet. Even his stool looked unhealthy, so I did my best to try and find something that could supply him with the proper diet that wouldn’t completely break my wallet. I found Wysong after lots of hunting and made the switch. it’s been about a week now and His fur is already fuller, softer, and his smell is neutral. He’s healthier all around.

I want to write this review. Because I really appreciate this product helped my ferrets a lot. One of my ferret, her name is Yoko. She is extremely cute. After I had her 8 months. She started lose her fur. She became extremely skinny and unhealthy. I tried so many nutrition things for her. All was failed except this product. I read the review online, and give a try on this. It worked very well. She is back to fluffy and healthy again.

The ingredients list doesn't look as good as some other high-quality kibbles. But a friend of mine uses this and she highly recommended it. Ever since I started feeding this to my ferrets they've gotten so much more fluffy, soft, and the yellow oil in my male's fur has settled down.. so now he's brighter (he's white-furred). Thought I knew best buying very expensive cat food. But this stuff is amazing!

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!

My sweet girl Polly (who has insulinoma) had lost so much weight and was skin and bones and nothing would help her gain weight. She actually lost some of her hair and had me worried sick. She had low to no energy. I had her Wellness CORE Grain Free Original then switched to Orijen Kitten and Cat kibble which was said to be really good but nothing has honestly helped Polly. I’d heard of Wysong but we don’t get it in stores around here. After I started ordering from Chewy within the last month and a half, I found it on their website! I am honestly so happy to have bought it because I finally see the old Polly again.

My ferret is about 7 years old and she hates duck soup or any meats. It's difficult to get her to eat even dry. I had her on Marshall's dry for about 2 years. I switched to this in hopes she will gain a little weight, and so far so good!

The original Epigen 90 made my ferret have rather wet stools. I haven't even finished converting her over to this food and her stool has become more solid and her coat is thickening up! LOVE this food!

The best dry ferret food I have found so far. My little ones immediately loved it. Such a good price, and the best ingredients and protein percentage I've found in kibble. Would definatly recommend.

My ferret loves it and I’m glad I switched to this after seeing all of the bad reviews about Marshall’s food :) same price as Marshall’s food too so I’m not spending an insane amount!
