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.

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).

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

My furbaby, Pippin, loves this food. He used to be an a high quality cat food until I got him this. It doesn't bother his stomach like some other foods, and his coat and skin look great. The vet even said he looked better after the change. He turns 5 soon and he's doing great and loving his food.

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!

I read so much good stuff about this food being great for my ferret but he absolutely would not eat it! I don't blame him as it smelled awful. And even once I switched to a different food it took him some time to get back to a normal appetite.

I just got my ferrets not too long ago and had this food in stock, they were eating cat food before and I mixed a little wysong into it and now they pick out the new food and eat that instead. I'm trying to slowly mix in this new food but they're only eating this one

My little girl was losing the hair on her tail and some of her fur. I have tried Zupreem.even the grain free version, and the hair loss got worse. Now that I've switched her to this company all of their hair has grown back and they are more active and just better ferrets. I love this company and will continue to buy from them as long as I can

I recently switched my ferrets to this food, slowly of course, and they really like it. I notice they eat more and have gained some weight too. Their fur looks healthier too.

My ferrets love this food and have been on it for 3 years now. If I ever try feeding anything else they're uninterested. I love that it helps prevent upset stomachs!
