Natural Food shopping in Japan

UPDATES on Ferret Food Recalls
Responses from Whole/Natural Prey Suppliers


As we are looking forward to move back to Japan (with a one-way ticket), first thing on my mind?
FOOD!!

More specifically, where to get good food for the fuzz.
We are big fans of AFS and Wysong in the USA.
Even without previous experience, one can not reasonably assume they are everywhere. (Life in Korea is hard for people and ferrets particularly in the realm of food options.)

AFS does not exist in Japan.
And probably can never hope for them to. But I will speak to the great guys @ FBC who are miracle workers @ getting all kinds of food imports from America to Japan. It will take time for them to confer with and get an answer back from their distributors in Los Angles, but if there is good news, I am sure to post it. (^_-)

Wysong, on the other hand, has gotten their foot in the door from several years back. As such I am listing several reliable, long-living sites for purchase below:

* Viva Ferret has existed as a community and store for a long time.
You can get both types of Wysong and Evo Ferret through them. Naturally, it's monsterously expensive. Money well spent 4 good health as far as I am concerned though.

* Genki Itachi, or "Happy Healthy Weasel" is a store totally dedicated to supporting the BARF diet and homemade food diet for ferrets. They, too, sell Wysong.

* Interferret, one of the largest most well-known online retailers of ferret goods and 'home-grown' ferrets, used to offer Wysong, but they have been out for awhile. I don't know if they are going to discontinue it or are just waiting for a new shipment. Needs watching.

* Koiwa Pet is another longstanding citizen of the Japanese pet supply stores. However, they only carry the Evo ferret.

* Rakuten Ichiba is a general, reliable online market. You can sometimes get Wysong here.

* One Step from Paradise is a private site that seems to offer Wysong, amoung others. Needs confirmation first. Under the links tab though there is a great collection to many other natural feeding support and learning sites.

This is, unfortunately, it 4 now.
BUT!
We shall continue our search as NO fuzz shall EVER go hungry!!!


Cheers and see you again! (^_-)-♪
