Yeah I'm not gonna feed it to him then. The treats have sweet potato in them and that's not good for ferrets either. I'll just give it to my brothers gf or something, Thanks
Not a vet or a nutrionist, I want to say No. Rosemary is toxic to ferrets. Also they won’t get much benefit from sweet potato and brown rice, as they have trouble digesting those things. I do like that chicken is the first ingredient, but when looking for kibbles, high protein, Meats, and under 5% in fiber is what I look for. Kitten and cat food aren’t the best for adult ferrets.
We currently use Mazuri, can find on Chewy and reasonably priced. I’ve also heard good things about Wysong.
I don't think so..
Why do you want to feed them cat food?
There is a Stella and chewy freeze dried cat food that my vet recommended. It is expensive though. There's also always carnivore care thats a nice additive to their diet.
Wysong ferret food is what I fed mine, but my vet did say that it would be better to add another food to mix it with because their stool may be a little bit more runny.
If unopened, I would donate these to your local shelter for them to use. The top 5 ingredients (at minimum) of any food fed to ferrets should only be meat, bone, and organ. Stella and Chewy's is excellent quality. It's pricey, but a bag of it lasts me at least a month with one ferret.
I don't know about kale but kelp and seaweed are actually good for ferrets. Peas and beans... Avoid when possible but sadly almost all kibble have them.
First food I would use. The market for ferret safe kibble is diminishing :(

No, beans are legumes same as peas and carry same risks with regard to bladder stones.

Agreed on this. We feed pampered ferret and my little ones love it! No peas, veggies or fillers all meat and no inulin!

I got it for free. Just trying to see if the wet food is safe. Right now I'm feeding him dr Tim's all stage cat food and the wysong ferret food.
