My ferrets are on meat!! (Thanks Rainmaker)

[Hob&Jill 258]

I have stopped feeding my ferrets dry now and have moved to fresh meat. I went down the butchers and had a look what I could get them. He sold me some Pet mince that contains the lites ect I know that many might be suspicious of this but my butchers are exelent, a real traditional village butcher (one of the few true left I suspect) And I know that they wouldnt sell shit.

 

The reason I have changed is mainly from Rainmakers huge endless posts about this lol, Thanks Rainmaker

[Hob&Jill 258]

Ive never been out at night mate. I dont have a lamp, I will do it one day though. Im just talking about ferreting and the occasional day shooting with my .22 air rifle.

[Hob&Jill 258]

Sounds good mate.

 

Are normal million candle torches alright? I dont have a specific lamp that was made for hunting, altough I do have a big million candle torch thing that looks very similar to the lamps I see.

glad your feeding meat i wouldn't give them anything else. Don't just stick to one though give them a variety with rabbit being the staple and natural diet. I give mine anything i shoot and any scraps from the hawk. So there diet includes, quail, rabbit, rat, mice, gerbils, pigeon, sometimes hare, moorhen, pheasant, partridge, duck, day old chicks, beef, chicken. Its all excellent food for them if fed raw and fresh.

 

Sounds good mate.

If you have ferret's and the place is not over run why shoot them.. ..when they are perfectly capable of bolting the food them self's.

P.s them torches are crap where lamping bunnies are concerned.

i get 1 day a week off work mate and i cant always get out...so the night time is good for me :ph34r:

[Guest Frank]

[Guest Frank]

If its me you asking Millet, it was from ratreepers ferret food selection.
