It seems that practically every aspect of animal keeping is searching for more nutritious ways to feed the animals and is looking closesly at what goes into the food!
this site for pelleted Cavy food (guinea pigs) analyzes typical ingredients in processed foods too:
www.guinealynx.info/pellets.html
check out the "Ingredients to avoid" list and the reasons they say to avoid them. Compare the list to how many of those ingredients we see in ferret kibble!
This site talks about appropriate foods for rabbits and it too cautions avoiding things that appeal to humans. Something I find particularly notable is that rabbits are "strict herbivores" and you don't see pellet mfrs. adding ANIMAL sources to their diets to supposedly "balance" them!
