Ferret Complete is the first British dry ferret food formulated
specifically for ferrets.
Ferrets have higher energy needs and a shorter digestive
tract than cats or dogs and being carnivores their primary protein
source must be meat. They need a high energy diet with a high
protein and fat content which Ferret Complete provides. The main
protein source in Ferret Complete is the finest quality turkey meat
meal, to give a higher protein level of 36%.
As ferrets' principal source of energy, fat is a vital
ingredient in their nutrition. Ferret Complete has a high fat level
of 19%, derived mainly from turkey fat. We also include
whole ground linseed for soft, shiny coats.
Many owners used to feed day-old chicks and raw meat. These are
difficult to keep fresh and can attract flies and cause stomach
upsets. Plus, evidence now suggests that the egg white found in
chicks can cause bald patches in ferrets' coats. It is much better
to feed Ferret Complete, which stays fresh and produces less faeces
which are smaller, firmer and less odorous.
To help maintain your ferret's health and longevity, we now add
a natural source of M.O.S. (Manno-Oligo-Saccharides). This helps to
stimulate your ferret's immune system and balance the bacteria
present in the large intestine, reduces the build-up of pathogens
such as salmonella and e.coli, and increases the beneficial
lactobacillus.
