Alpha Ferret Feast 10kg
Overview
Alpha Ferret Feast is a complete, balanced ferret diet designed for working, pet and show ferrets. It is suitable throughout all life stages, including kits, and provides a practical everyday feeding option for ferrets that need a high-protein, meat-based diet.
The recipe combines chicken and fish ingredients with added taurine and a carefully balanced vitamin and mineral profile. With 36% protein, 19% fat and a crunchy extruded nugget format, it offers a nutritious food that is easy to digest, highly palatable and made to support health and vitality.
Fish meal and linseed are included to help support healthy skin and coat condition, while the crunchy texture helps support dental cleanliness as ferrets chew. The recipe is also made without added artificial colours or flavours.
Ferrets can be fed ad lib because of their fast metabolism. For kits, the nuggets can be softened with warm water before feeding so they are easier to start on, then gradually moved onto dry food after 5–6 weeks.
