Welcome to More Dooks.  Our goal here is to provide ferret nutrition resources that are useful to both the new and the experienced owner, by focusing on requests and things that seem to be otherwise missing from the online ferret community or available information sources.

We have ferret food charts, as well as a searchable ferret food database, and ingredients database.

News:

Young Again Food Added

Whiskandbowl tipped me off that a brand called Young Again makes some high-protein ferret and cat foods. I added these to the chart database: Apparently this company's founder is the same as Natural Gold's, which explains their similar formulations. 4Health Cat Food was also added a couple weeks ago. It's the Tractor Supply Company's store brand. posted April 6, 2012

Go! Formula changes

It turns out that Go! did change its formulas slightly- it just took a while. They've been updated now in the database. I also left up the old version of the most popular one for ferrets (the chicken/trukey/duck one) for comparison. The new formula seems to like it has a higher variety of meat (more meat ingredients listed), but an overall lower meat content (slightly lower protein and fat). The changes do not move it up or down any places on the ferret food chart though. The old entry will be removed in a few months when they old formula is no longer in circulation. posted March 14, 2012

Wild Harvest and Minor Point Scoring Change

Added the Wal Mart Wild Harvest ferret food Upon doing so I realized that there were no point deductions for fruits on the ferret food chart. I altered the criteria so that fruits are penalized the same amount that vegetables are now. No old foods have moved up or down on the chart with this change though, since nothing else has a lot of fruit in it. EDIT (March 7th) Apparently I had the label and ingredients from either an old version of the food, or a different variety of the brand. It has been corrected now. posted March 6, 2012

Information Maintenance II

Did some more general maintenance today, checking up on all foods that had not been edited since September 2010 or earlier. Major Formula Changes: Minor Formula Changes: posted March 2, 2012

New Innova Foods

Added a few new products that Innova is coming out with: I have recieved a few comments that the Innova EVO reviews on this site have not been updated since Procter & Gamble's buyout. This site ranks foods using a mathematical system, so unless the ingredients listed on the bag or website change, nothing will be changed here (and to the best of my knowledge there have been no changes to the formula). EVO ranks high on the ferret food chart because it has high protein and fat, and because its first few ingredients are meat- not because I personally placed there. As far as ingredient grade changes go (ie. substituting a low quality chicken meal in place of a high quality chicken meal), that is beyond the scope of this site. Unfortunately that is information that can't be gathered from product labels, so there's no way for it to be incorporated. Please keep in mind that this is something to be aware of for all brands, and not just Innova. That being said though, I do recommend keeping a close eye on Innova products for complaints, recalls, and formula changes. Innova has some very good products, but Procter & Gamble does not have a good history in the pet food industry. posted March 1, 2012
