Their products are manufactured in Nebraska, and their hay is all grown in the USA. Oxbow pet products consist of small animal food, bedding and litter, small animal toys, feeding supplies and water bottles. They also have fun and functional critter accessories.
The Oxbow Organic Way line is 100% organic with feed for rabbits and guinea pigs. Their meadow hay is certified organic, full of fiber and can be used for many different small pets. The Simple Rewards line of Oxbow small animal treats has a variety of flavors, like sweet snacks containing apples, bananas and strawberries, or more savory munchies that include dill and bell pepper. There are baked treats and delectable freeze-dried fruits. The baked treats all contain hay, which is a vital staple in many small animals’ diets.
The Oxbow Essentials line has feed for all sorts of small animals—like rabbits, rats, gerbils, guinea pigs and chinchillas. It contains the vitamins and minerals needed to give your small pets a well-rounded, wholesome meal. All Oxbow Essentials products include Timothy hay, which is known for its digestibility. Oxbow small animal hay and grass is vital to your pet’s lifestyle and should make up at least 70% of their diet. The small animals that need hay in addition to Oxbow food include rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, tortoises, prairie dogs, degus and others. Plus, many small animals like rats, hamsters, mice, gerbils, hedgehogs and ferrets will forage, nest and play in the hay.
Along with nutrition, Oxbow pet supplies are also very high-quality.

The Oxbow Enriched Life food bowl can be great to hold either feed or water, and it’s designed not to tip over.

The Oxbow Pure Comfort litter is made of 100% pure, never-printed paper and comes in either white or tan for a soft and comfy bed for your critters to snuggle in or burrow into. It is purity tested and free of additives, and the bedding can trap up to 800% of its weight in moisture for excellent absorbency and odor control.
Oxbow Eco-Straw litter is made entirely of wheat straw and is naturally absorbent and dust-free. It clumps for easy disposal, and the pellets expand to hold 300% of its weight in moisture. It’s also consumable, so if your pet eats it, there’s no need to stress—it actually has a high fiber content.

Thanks for reaching out. Marshal Farms, Totally Ferret of 8 in 1 brand probably have the best reputation and experience. But others could be fine also, read the ingredient label. Ferrets are very finicky eaters so might have to perform trial and error.

Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Ferrets make excellent pets as they like to interact with humans and other ferrets, are naturally playful, and accept a variety of foods. However, it is important to keep their home cage clean as they have a faster intestinal transit time (meaning up to 4 bowel movements per day) and make sure that your home is “ferret-proofed” to avoid foreign body obstructions and injuries. You should also make sure that your city allows ferrets to be kept as pets, as they are illegal in certain areas. Good luck with your potential new pet!

Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Teething toys such as nylabones for small dogs can be helpful. You can also moisten Bandits kibble with water or offer a small amount of canned cat food - any brand is fine, but you may want to try something specific for kittens that is high in protein.
