get them on fresh rabbit pigeon squirrel and anything else you trap or shoot tinned stuff is no good mate

Pigeon has a high fat content, rabbit has little or no fat content, and cat food also has a low fat content. Try to feed as much raw fresh food as possible.

Nothing is better than fresh rabbit, I've tried it all over the years, and rabbit p*sses on all other foods

Tinned dog food gives nothing to the ferret i feed mine on a diet of ferret biscuit but mainly rabbit and even the odd pheasant, dont feed dog food if you dont have a supply of meat or ferret biscuits cat food is better for them.

Yep even cat foods has more neutritional value than dog food.

dog food for dogs, cat food for cats,i feed mine rabbit mince and dry food

Better still is kitten food, as it has a higher protein content(as a stop gap measure or treat). Due there physiology ferrets require a much higher % protein than most domestic animals in their diet( typically in excess of 36%)which is not readily available in prepared food other than ferret specific feed.

If your gonna wean em why not soak the dry mix til it becomes like porridge.

Done this for the past 2 years and it works a treat!
