Not really .. lol I do not want to get controversal here but all animals have special needs especialy when it comes to nutrition. As we are animals ourselves, we also require special nutriments (we are omnivor mammals). McDonal's, Burger King, KFC, Wendy's and MANY OTHERS are No good for us but we choose to still eat that crap lol The difference between ferrets (for example) and us its the fact that ferrets trust YOU to make the good choices ! They believe in you as some of us believe in god  In other words, because it came at time we decided to get some animals domesticated we now have responsabilities. |

That's what I'm often thinking .. do you also find there's too much pets food for sale on the market that are not very good for them ? Its not only about foods, treats but sometimes also toys and health products. I believe that no one should get medications at stores before your vet tell you so. We need to be also careful when it comes to find good toys for our pets. For example, that "Exercise Ball" for ferret is NOT a good toy at all for them ! Some cages are also no good. We must be careful I guess  |

it is really hard sometimes to figure out what is the best food for your pets. it just takes time, commitment, and research. it is good that you are trying to figure out what is best to feed him. some people don't realize that they can do better. there is always going to be lower quality food on the market because not everybody can afford the premium foods. when it comes to ferrets, i personally feel that if you can't afford to feed your ferrets the premium food then you can't afford the ferrets. ferrets are expensive little buggers! but, that is just my opinion. it is the same for cat and dog food. there are things like whiskas and ol' roy which, in my opinion, are terrible foods. but, people don't know the difference and/or can't afford to get better. at least the animals are being fed. i have researched a lot about what food is best for my pets. i feel that since i am the one in charge of what they are eating i am the one responsible for giving them what i feel is the best for them. like Annik said, we make our own decisions (like eating junk food) and it is our bodies so we face the consequences but the ferrets depend on us to provide the food for them. i am sure that my guys would love junk food too but since i am the one providing it to them they will eat healthy food |
