FerretsFirst is now a distributor of Wysong Ferret Food

We’ve seen some truly amazing results after feeding Wysong to the ferrets here at the shelter, especially the sickest ones! Ferrets that were stressed as a result of being surrendered at the shelter, not eating and rapidly losing weight were turned around and became healthy again on a Wysong diet, and we recommend it for all ferrets. We hope to have a web store up for Wysong food, but in the meantime please place your orders or inquiries by emailing Janet at ferretfood@verizon.net. We do not charge for shipping, and when you make your purchases through us, you help make Wysong food available for the ferrets here at the shelter! For more information about Wysong ferret food please visit the Wysong ferret food pages. Remember, order from ferretfood@verizon.net for free shipping!
