Do ye skin the rabbits lads and where do you get this complete ferret food im in ireland

You should be able to get complete ferret food from pet shops, or from animal feed suppliers. If not, look online, may be able to bulk order a load.

 

I personally feed on carcass as much as possible. During the summer, mostly they have pigeons that we've shot, or mates and mates of mates have shot, during the winter, when its ferreting season, they'll get mostly rabbits. I'll pick up road kill partridges or pheasants often, and I have a few shooting mates that get me the odd squirrel, crow or magpie. Recently they've had goose that my mate only breasted.

 

I'm not a fan of dried food, but other people swear by it, but you should give them fresh meat when you can, in my opinion.

 

And no, don't skin the rabbits, just take the guts out.

Jollys pet warehouse in the North of Ireland and any good pet shop in the south of Ireland.

 

I leave the skin on the rabbits i feed to my ferts, but allways take out the guts.

does anyone give fish to the ferrets, because my dad and i often go sea fishing and often things like mackeral, pouting, whiting and dabs dont get used up ive never thought about giving them to the ferrets

I've given mine fish in the past, raw and cooked, but they never seem too interested.
