Almost Great
Date: November 23, 2008
"This is one of the best ferret foods that you can find in stores. However, I much prefer Innova Evo Ferret Food. The ingredients and guaranteed analysis are better. Also, Core Wellness cat food is excellent, and can be found at Petco. It's 50% protein and 18% fat, with an excellent list of ingredients. Of course, with the Evo and Core Wellness, you'll be spending more money, so I generally mix the three. The nice thing about mixing them is that if you run out of one, you don't have to adapt the ferrets to a new food. My three fuzzies just love these foods, as do my three kitties. I have to keep the cats out of the ferret cage when I let the woozles out! All in all, not bad, but it could be better. If you can afford it, try to Evo or the Wellness foods."

Best Ferret Food on The Market!
Date: September 13, 2008
"In my opinion this is the best ferret food on the market. I have done a lot of research and this food just stands out from all the others. It is full of all the good things that your fuzzy needs, plus lots of protein. Also unlike a lot of ferret foods it does not contain any fish. Fish can actually make your ferret smell worse. My ferrets also love this food so much that I use it as a treat when they behave well and I have them out in public. Great Food!"

great option
Date: August 13, 2008
"One of the sales girls at the store who had ferrets recommended this product to us so the ferrets waste wasn't as smelly. It has been our favorite ferret food ever since! We had six ferrets at that time and that means a lot of ferret "waste"! So less foul odor is a real plus, and it is a very good food for ferrets in nutritional value."

"My four ferrets love the Zupreem Ferret Diet. I purchased the Kaytee Ferret Food, and they wouldn't eat it and started losing weight. As soon as I switched to the Zupreem food, they gained their weight back."

He seems happier
Date: January 22, 2008
"We switched to this from Marshall foods and he seems to like it better. I was worrying because he'd gotta quite skinny, but this food seems to make him a lot happier and he finally stays out of the cat food with this.(Though we can't keep the cat out of his food. o.0)"

Unfortunately, found out some bad things about...
Date: August 12, 2007
"I used to feed zupreem mixed with TF baby and was very happy with my decision. I like that both foods have over 40% protein. I've done some research on ferrets' natural diet (as in, if you fed them chicks and mice), and they would be eating about 50 to 60% protein in that case. Their diet would be mostly protein, followed closely by fat, and very little carbs/fiber. So, zupreem sounds great, right? Wrong. I did some further research recently because I was thinking about adding Innova Evo ferret to my kibble mix. I found out that it's only about 15% carbs, and TF baby is only around 6% carbs. Limiting carbs is really important to me as I am worried about the link between carbs and insulinoma later in life. I'd rather spend more money on good food now and save money on vet bills when they're old (not to mention, save my fuzzies the suffering of that terrible disease). I realized that I did not know the carb content in Zupreem. I found a website that estimates carb contents based on the ingredient lists in kibble, and it appears that zupreem is around 30% carbs. That is way too high for me, so unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this food to others. I know the price is great, and so is the protein and fat content, but I just can't feed this to my furkids in good conscience anymore. The good news is, they enjoy the IE as much as they did the zupreem, so they don't mind the switch. If you can afford it, I would recommend trying to find a lower carb food for your furkids. However, if it's all you can afford, I feel that zupreem is a much better quality food than many, e.g. Marshalls (which is actually a better mink diet) or cat foods, etc. Even high quality kitten foods (iams, science diet, etc) are high carb (because cats need carbs, ferret don't), so I would feed zupreem over those as well. If you must feed zupreem, perhaps try to supplement their diet with more protein to offset it, e.g. make a "soup" once a day out of warm, wet kibble and chicken or turkey baby food to up the protein content. I do this for my kids anyways, as a treat =)."

Excellent choice
Date: December 29, 2006
"This is a very high-quality product that I would recommend to anyone. It actually fulfills all of a ferret's nutritional needs and they love it as well. I have fed my young kit this food since I first brought him home, and although he had been eating strictly Marshall's brand before this in the store (he also came from a Petco store), he actually would pick through the bowl of food in his cage and eat the Zupreem pieces, leaving the Marshall's in the bowl. By the second day of having him, he actually just preferred a bowl of straght Zupreem! I also noticed that many ferret foods (like Marshall's) have fish products in them, which tend to give the ferret a fish-like odor, whereas all of the major ingredients of this food are chicken-based. All in all, I would definitely recommend this food to anyone and everyone."

Healthy food but stinks!
Date: October 2, 2006
"I have two ferrets. I switched them over to this food cuz I got all excited about how good it is for them. The protien, fat and no BHT or corn was great. The bad thing is it stinks really bad especially when they go to the bathroom!! and I know its this food cuz they didn't stink before with the old food. So I'm really disappionted:-( Thankfully their old food is still really good for them:-)"

Zupreem is the tops
Date: August 6, 2006
"Ferrets are meat eaters and require 35% or more protein. Zupreem has a 40% protein rating, plus they also have Taurine which is also good for the health of ferrets. There is a noticeable difference in the "ferret smell" between Zupreem and other ferret foods. Zupreem is recommended by one of my emergency care vets and with 16 pickey eaters, it was very easy to switch brands of ferret food to Zupreem."
