Thanks china doll! I like your rambling, and anyhow it was nice to know why you should not give cat food. On a different ferret board I was told to feed cat food (they might of ment to say kitten but I could of sworn I heard in numerous places people say cat food not kitten) so I went out & bought cat food to mix w/ his zupreem & TF. I found a natures recipe to be higher in protien & lower in ash than other cat foods & also has no corn products. It is a hairball remedy kind. I have just begun to start to feed him that so he is getting very little cat food everyday. Can I countinue to give him this maybe just as a treat until the bag is gone or should I stop right away? I do not have cats & do not want it to go to waste also I thought that maybe the hairball remedy would be good to give as treats to help prevent hairballs. He is still a kit, only about 14 weeks old.
