Review: Hands down the best ferret food. Ive tried them all this is the only one my girl will clean the bowl for. Highly recommend. No runny poop. No over weight ferret just healthy and happy
Review: Hmmmm I love this ferret food and love that desertcart sells it! Bought this for ferrets BUT it’s apparently so good that the cat needs to find a way to slink up the ferret enclosure when the bottom door is open and also enjoys it. Must be a good product if it’s worth all that hassle of him getting stuck in the ferret cage for!

## 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/
