"Hay pellets, this will KILL your ferrets. They will not eat it, and if they did, it would kill them. DO NOT USE THIS STUFF for ferrets. Chewy needs to correct that listing."
Bottom Line
Since there is only one extremely negative review, it has to be remembered that this review could lack validity with this particular issue of the product such as how it was sold, whether it is a rare defective product, whether this was actually the review writer's own fault or neglect, but this does not mitigate the seriousness of the situation. For any pet owner, it is far better to err on the side of caution than to risk their pet's life, and if there is any question of the validity of this singular review, explanations in the product listing itself to clearly address this issue should be taken with complete seriousness.
