Why Feed Your Ferrets Grain Free Foods:

Fer­rets are oblig­ate car­ni­vores, (meat eaters). They have short diges­tive tracts which pass food quick­ly through their sys­tems. Because they require foods that are eas­i­ly digestible, fer­ret diets should be high in meat pro­tein, low in carbs, low in fiber and con­tain very lit­tle to no grains.

Changing Diet To True North Diet:

It is impor­tant to grad­u­al­ly tran­si­tion your fer­ret from one food to anoth­er. Start with a pro­por­tion of 25 % True North to 75 % pre­vi­ous diet.
