Review: Great food - My ferret loves this food, it always comes packaged well and smells fresh. She loves it and it’s one of the few foods that she will go crazy for. It’s very safe due to having no plant products which ferrets cannot have. It’s also one of the cheaper ferret foods I’ve found.
Review: Best food i've found - This seems to be the best healthiest option on the market, I've noticed my ferrets poop less and its more firm since I completely switched, ive tried every brand that is said to be superior & these ingredients and my ferrets poop seem to support the idea that this is the best of all the foods. It's also veterinarian recommended according to the brand.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Did any ferrets get nasty poo poo?**
A: Changing foods can cause a little tummy upset, while your little one's system is getting used to a new diet. This is why we recommend a four-week transition period, to slowly accustom them to their new food. This schedule is listed on the back of our bag but you can also learn more on our blog: https://oxbowanimalhealth.com/blog/how-to-transition-your-pets-food/
