Innova EVO Dry Ferret Food

Product Description

The Ancestral Diet Meets Modern NutritionFerrets, being strict carnivores, require a high animal protein and fat in their daily diets, along with low carbohydrate intake. However, a diet limited to meat alone could cause harmful nutritional imbalances. In recent years, due to the lack of availability of high-quality ferret foods on the market, many ferret owners have become attracted to feeding a homemade or ”raw” diet which they believe approximates the evolutionary diet of a ferret. That is, until now. EVO Dry Ferret Food was created to supply a high protein, low carbohydrate formula that mimics the ingredients and nutritional profile of a raw diet.

My 2 cents:

Although there are a variety of commercial ferret foods on the market, and the convenience of feeding your pet ferret is naturally a big plus for a busy ferret owner, there are many benefits to feeding your ferret a natural diet. Especially since ferrets are prone to illness and disease.

We have collected a number of natural diet ferret recipes and posted them back in November 2009. You can check out these Ferret Food Recipes here.
