Today's discussion is on the different TYPES of commercial food for ferrets: kibble, canned/wet, freeze dried, and air dried! I talk about all 4 of them and finally I get into which one I think is the best for ferrets, and I go over rotational feeding!

Side note, many of you have seen my instagram post about Luna passing away earlier this week. This video was filmed 2 days before she passed and it's the last video I have her in. She went from being perfectly fine to not with us anymore in a span of 24 hours (as ferrets often do). It was both heart breaking and heart warming to see her in here for that minute or so that I'm holding her. I love you so much Luna. Dook in peace. You'll be so missed.
