Dry and questionable ingredients
By Samantha on Feb 20, 2021
If you’re gonna feed kibble to your ferrets, try ziwi air dried food for cats instead. A bit on the pricey side but totally worth it. Has everything your ferret needs and nothing that can harm them.

My ferret prefers this food
By David on Feb 3, 2021
I tried mixing my ferrets old food with Wysong to adjust her eating but now if I mix her old brand with Wysong she just digs it out of her bowl.

Loose poop
By Kyla on Oct 14, 2020
When I first switched my ferrets to this food they did fine. But for some reason, they developed really lose stools later on. After I took this food out of their mix of kibble, their poop got better. I didn't want to waste the remainder of this kibble, so I gave a small scoop to my dog with his normal dinner. This also caused problems with his poop. I had a whole unopened bag for back up that chewy helped me return. Great customer service there.

Better than their previous diet.
By croxiin on Jul 8, 2020
Being high in protein and low in fiber, it does give them loose stools, however, their fur has become soft and fluffy, they have more energy, and it was an easy transition.

Food is great
By Ethan on May 25, 2020
I would give this food 5 stars but my little guy is having liquidy poops but I not surprised by due to the fact of there being Chai seeds in this food, but otherwise this food is great

Gave My Ferrets Loose Stools
By LFitz on Apr 7, 2020
My ferrets really seemed to enjoy this food; however, their stools were loose after switching to this brand. They still behaved normally, but their poops ranged from liquid to soft. I switched to the Digestive Support Epigen because my ferrets' tummies just couldn't take this formula.

Best Ferret food around!
By MrsBrock on Feb 19, 2020
I have used this ferret food for my ferrets for over 2 years. It is a very high quality food. I have completely phased out Marshall ferret products due to the over use of corn meal, peas, and grains. The Wysong is the best for healthy, obligate carnivores such as ferrets. I am also affiliated with a ferret exclusive shelter, so I assure you if you are nervous to take your ferrets off of the Marshalls...don't be. They will be much healthier after you switch them. Feel free to mix you kibble 50/50 then slowly transition them. Have a great day and thanks for reading.

My Ferrets love it
By Lisa on Jan 23, 2020
After losing a ferret to bladder stones due to feeding a non raw diet, I am switching my remaining ferrets to a more meat based/raw diet. I wanted to also have the option of a dry kibble that is more designed for ferrets. From the nutritional breakdown, Wysong was the best choice and wow, my boys love it. I only wish I had been feeding this from the beginning to my other ferret.

Great choice

Amazing! My girls and boy love it! It took me a while to figure out what foods they will all love together, and they sure love this!

Great food and service
By Kaylee on Dec 12, 2019
This was recommended to me from several other ferret parents to mix with their current foods, my babes love it! First time ordering from Chewy and the process was so simple and straightforward. Will definitely be ordering again!
