Hi again! 
I don't own ferrets, but I have a friend who does. She feeds than cat food.
Science Diet makes some gluten-free cat foods. We use the one designed for indoor cats who don't get much exercise. It's a dry food--I don't know about the other types.

Click here for a post I made a while ago about gluten-free cat foods. Cat food is nutritionally adequate for the needs of a ferret. It contains higher concentrations of protein than required, but this is not usually a problem.

If you can find the Innova Evo cat food that is a dry raw diet, totally grain free food. My pets thrive on this brand.
