Redditch, Worcestershire -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/04/2012 -- The domestic ferret still has a lot in common with its wild ancestors as far as its diet is concerned and is an obligate carnivore, which means that its diet must be primarily meat based. Vetpharmacy.co.uk is pleased to announce that it now stocks James Wellbeloved Ferret Complete, the first British dry food that has been specially formulated for ferrets alone.

Ferrets have a high energy requirement, which means that their food should ideally contain at least 34% meat protein and at least 15% fat. James Wellbeloved Ferret Complete has a protein level of 36%, of which the main source is the finest quality turkey meat meal. It also contains a high fat level of 19%, which consists of mainly turkey fat. Ferret Complete also contains ground linseed to help maintain a soft and shiny coat.

While many might consider that raw meat or freshly caught birds and mice might provide ferrets with the best nutrition, these can pose a serious problem to a ferrets health. This problem is due to the fact that these sources of meat protein are likely to be contaminated or carry disease and bacteria that could harm the ferret, as well as being difficult to keep fresh. James Wellbeloved ferret complete is much healthier as it stays fresh for longer, as well as producing firmer and less smelly faeces.

In addition to this, Ferret complete now contains a natural source of Manno-Oligo-Saccharides (M.O.S.) to help maintain health and longevity. M.O.S. helps to balance the bacteria present in the large intestine, as well as stimulating the ferret’s immune system, thus reducing the threat of salmonella and e.coli. James Wellbeloved Ferret Complete provides the perfect balance of nutrients to maintain the optimum ferret nutrition.
