James Wellbeloved Ferret Complete 10kg
"Britain’s first complete dry food made specially for ferrets High in meat protein,
high in fat. Perfect for a ferret’s digestion. Healthier than feeding raw chicks or
cat food. Less faeces, less smell. Smaller, firmer stools. Stays fresh for days
in the bowl, unlike raw meat or chicks. Irresistibly tasty to a ferret. Made in their
favourite star shape. Widely recommended by clubs, National Ferret Welfare Society,
International Ferret Welfare,National Ferret School. Why is Ferret Complete healthier?
Ferret Complete is the first British food formulated specifically for ferrets’ needs.
Since ferrets are carnivores, their primary protein source must be meat. But they have
higher energy needs and a shorter digestive tract than cats or dogs. Plus their digestions
are relatively inefficient at absorbing vegetable proteins. So ferrets derive little
benefit from the corn and soya protein sources found in many cat and dog foods. By contrast,
the main protein source in Ferret Complete is fine quality turkey meat meal, to give the
correct higher protein level of 36% that ferrets need. Fat is a principal source of energy
for ferrets, so fat is a vital ingredient in their
nutrition. Ferret Complete has a high
fat level of 19%, derived mainly from turkey fat and fish meal. The food also includes
ground whole linseed for soft, shiny coats. Up to now, many owners have fed their ferrets
day-old chicks and raw meat. These attract flies and can rapidly go bad, causing stomach
upsets. Plus, new evidence suggests that the egg white found in chicks can cause bald
patches in ferrets’ coats. Much better to feed Ferret Complete, which stays fresh for days
in the bowl. And produces firmer stools,
easier for you to clean up. To help maintain
your ferret's health and longevity, we now add a natural source of M.O.S
(Manno-Oligosaccharides). This helps to simulate your ferret's immune system, reduce the
build up of pathogens such as salmonella and e-coli, and increase the beneficial lactobacillus.
Ferret Complete is loved by ferrets and recommended by experts. Ferret
Complete is not only healthy and nutritious, it is also very tasty. Coated in delicious
turkey gravy and made in their favourite star shape, it is irresistible to ferrets.
The food is recommended by a wide variety of clubs, societies and rescue centres. Notably,
National Ferret Welfare Society, International Ferret Welfare of Great Britain and the
National Ferret School. Pack sizes: James Wellbeloved Ferret Complete is available in 750g
