Is this good for my ferret?

Question
I haven't feed my ferret any yet because I don't want nothing to happen to him that I could've prevented. Is fancy feast a good meal for a ferret or would it be more along the lines of a treat? If it is not a good food could you give me a detailed list of foods you've known ferrets to like. I don't want like oh well meat because of the good nutrients and stuff. I know this I would just like something that would give me specific foods that you personally or have heard about ferrets adapting to as there everyday meal.
I would greatly apperciate it I'm a new ferret owner and only 14 so the more help the better.
Thanks so much, Amanda

Answer
Ferrets need to eat often so make sure you feed him something as soon as possible.  Even a kitten food is better then nothing for today.  I feed Natural Gold Ferret food and Totally ferrets Venison food.  Mine get a mix of both.  As a new ferret owner, I suggest you buy or borrow from the library a  book called Ferrets for Dummies by Kim Schilling.  It should help you with a lot of questions when getting started.  But, the ferret needs food and water ASAP.
