joe14 98 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 turn em on their belly on your knee, put some ferretone or olive oil on their belly, whilst theyre licking it off clip away.. dont go into the pink vein! Dont feed bread and milk, ferrets are lactose intolerant which means they cant digest lactose and bread would do nothing what so over for em. If you want to give em some milk, cat milk is a good treat for em cos its short on lactose. They have short digestive system so they eat couple of times a day, so leave a bowl of dry food in the cage all the time and feed the rabbit and other raw meat at night especially in the summer.
