Food & NutritionIs it safe to switch my ferret from Marshall's food to a meat diet?
Thanks for reaching out about your ferret. Marshal Farms has probably placed more research into ferret nutrition than anyone and is considered a very good, complete diet. A meat diet is wrought with complications: bacterial infections, inappropriate vitamin and mineral balance, etc. and is difficult to recommended as all meats have different nutritive value.
It is recommended to stay with a the Marshal Farms or other good quality ferret food.
Good luck.
