Lee farrington 211 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 As the nights are closing in I really only get out at weekends rabbiting and shooting with my air rifle. , but my mate who I go with don't work so is out and about most days. Today he left me some squirrels in my freezer, I've never gave them squirrel before and wasn't sure if they can have them, he gave his ferrets some today and they ate them. Mine get a very big mixture of whole and raw but not squirrel as of yet. Any advice please Quote Link to post

rabbit demon 301 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Squirrel actually does taste nice. Id freeze them solid for a couple of days before id feed them raw to the ferrets. Quote Link to post
Welsh_red 4,306 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I've fed them to my hob . He seemed to prefer the head and inside the chest cavity most Quote Link to post

charlie caller 3,654 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Mine fight like buggery over Squirrel, to be fair I like eating them, the Hawk likes eating them, so be a bit odd if Ferrets did not. Quote Link to post
