Product Description

The Ancestral Diet Meets Modern Nutrition

Ferrets, 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.

This review is from: Innova EVO Dry Ferret Food (Misc.)

Ferrets are obligate carnivores. They do not digest fiber well, and excess carbs in their diet is the most likely reason that we see such a high incidence of insulinoma in the USA (and other places where ferrets are fed kibble diets). The standard ferret (including zupreem or 8 in 1 ultimate) or cat food is estimated to contain upwards of 30% carbs!!! A ferret's natural diet (from looking at their cousin, the european polecat, from which Mustello furo is essentially genetically indistinguishable) should be mostly protein and fat, *very* low carb. Innova evo is guaranteed to be under 10% carbs, and it has the protein and fat that my fuzzies need to stay healthy. I can't recommend this food enough. I mix this food with Totally Ferret baby (which is the only TF food I really prefer...42% protein, less than 6% carbs, no corn, which is allergenic for many ferrets). If you don't want to order IE on the internet, you can go to their website and look for local retailers. My local natural pet food store will order a bag for me and not charge me shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes for healthy ferrets, July 31, 2007

This review is from: Innova EVO Dry Ferret Food (Misc.)

This is the best food for ferrets! My female ferret ate standard cat food (under care of old owner) and had hollowed out hips/abdomen area. To rectify this, my vet immediately recommended Innova EVO ferret food. It took a little for Chitter to start eating it but she is now completely hooked. Her abdomen is no longer hollowed and her coat is so much shinier and softer. Also, her feces have almost no smell. This is so much easier to deal with when cleaning out her box. Without a doubt, I would recommend this product. If you think it's a little expensive, it's well worth it. My picky critters love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ferret food, March 12, 2007

This food contains premium grade ingredients and is mostly meat based. This is what ferrets need a meat based diet with the bulk of the protein coming from meat. It's high in protein and high in fat which is what you want in a ferrets diet. With no grains, fillers, by-products or chemicals like BHA/BHT you are truly getting a product that's worth the money you spend. This is truly an awesome product for ferrets and the company has been making great food for animals for years.
