Thanks Chinadoll! Oh your fuzzies are soo cute! I am feeding Marshall food but never thought about mixing due to a company changing ingredients or stopping production. Good idea! I have not yet noticed any ferret food in my area except oncour (does not seem very good?) or marshall but I will look around. He is in a huge 4 story ferret cage w/ litter box w/ newspaper pellets. He has 2 hammy's and a bunch of tubes & balls in there w/ him. I do know they drink more oout of a bowl & we bought a lock on crock well he just scoopes all the water out of it. He loves water! So in his cage he now has a bottle. BUt he shares the dogs water when he comes out! Yup I bought that ferret for dummies book & it is excellent. I am learning fast! I will have to check out that community.
