Give your carpet sharks a daily diet built from the ground up for ferrets with our Air-Dried Complete Ferret Food!

Our Lamb Recipe is the world's first air-dried complete diet made specifically for ferrets, developed in consultation with veterinary nutritionists and exotic veterinarians. Dogs and cats have had air-dried diets for years, and they're considered some of the best food you can buy for either species. Nobody had ever made one for ferrets. It has been our mission to change that, so we spent two years working with a facility in New Zealand to build one, formulated around what ferrets actually need rather than adapted from a cat recipe.

Inside the bag you'll find 95% lamb, organ, bone, and seafood in whole-prey ratios. Real lamb muscle meat from grass-fed, pasture-raised New Zealand sheep along with kidney, liver, and bone, plus New Zealand green mussel for natural glucosamine and chondroitin and a proprietary fish blend for amino acid diversity and omega-3s.

Just like all our products, you'll never find any unnecessary ingredients in our Air-Dried Ferret Food. No grains, no peas, no corn or soy, no starches, no sugar, and no plant protein inflating the protein number on the label. Air-drying pulls moisture out slowly at low temperatures instead of cooking the ingredients at high heat, so you get raw-level nutrition in a shelf-stable bag. No thaw. No mess. No prep.

Made for Label Readers
Your ferret can't read the label. That's your job. Nearly every ferret food on the shelf today is a kibble, built on rendered meat meals, byproducts, fillers, corn, soy, and plant proteins that ferrets process poorly. Here's what's in ours, and what isn't:

• Real lamb as the first ingredient
• Whole-prey ratios of muscle meat, organ, and bone
• No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
• No grain, potato, pea, corn, or soy
• No binders or starches, because there's no shape to hold together
• Every gram of protein from an animal source
• Responsibly sourced and made in New Zealand

A note on preservatives
Every shelf-stable food needs something to keep the fat from going rancid, and air-dried food is no exception. The question is what you use. This recipe relies on mixed tocopherols, a form of vitamin E, along with rosemary extract, citric acid, and vinegar, rather than the synthetic preservatives common in pet food like BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin. Natural preservatives do the same job, though they give a shorter shelf life.

Specifications

Feeding Instructions:
Feed approximately 1/4 to 1/2 cup (23g to 57g) daily for an adult ferret (2-4 lbs). Kits under 1 lb need about 20 to 30g, ferrets 1 to 2 lbs about 20 to 40g, and adult ferrets 2 to 4 lbs about 23 to 57g. Adjust based on age, activity level, and body condition. Ferrets self-regulate, so most owners find it easiest to keep food available and let their floof set the schedule. Always provide fresh water. Store sealed in a cool, dry place. No refrigeration required. Keep food available 24/7.

Switching foods?
Ferrets imprint on their food as kits, which is why transitions take time. It has almost nothing to do with flavor. Mix a small amount into their current food and increase the proportion every few days. Most ferrets come around in two to four weeks. Every bag has a full 12-day switching guide printed on the back plus a QR code to the step-by-step version.

Why choose our Air-Dried Ferret Food?
Nearly every other ferret food on the shelf is a kibble, built around cheap plant protein that ferrets cannot digest well and held together with binders and starches they have no use for. This recipe was formulated for ferret biology from the start, and every gram of protein in the bag comes from an animal source.
