Alpha Ferret Feast 2.5kg
Overview
Alpha Ferret Feast is a complete, balanced ferret diet designed for working, pet and show ferrets throughout all life stages. It uses chicken and fish as digestible protein sources, with a high-protein recipe that helps support everyday health and vitality.
The crunchy extruded nugget format is made to help clean teeth as your ferret eats, while the recipe's fish meal and linseed help support healthy skin and coat condition. It is easy to digest, highly palatable and contains taurine plus added vitamins and minerals for a rounded daily feed.
It is also made without added artificial colours or flavours, and is intended to help reduce odour associated with some traditional feeding regimes.

Feeding Guide
- Feed ad lib, as ferrets have a very fast metabolism and commonly benefit from free access to food.
- If a ferret becomes overweight, increase activity or reduce intake to around 5% of body weight.
- For kits, moisten the food with warm water until soft, then cool it before feeding.
- Remove any uneaten moistened food after a few hours and replace with fresh food.
- Gradually introduce kits to dry food after 5 to 6 weeks.
Pack sizes in the Alpha Feeds range include 2.5kg and 10kg.
