feeding the ferts

[jackwhippet 3]

I have just noticed both yesterday and today that my jill from non working parents hasn't touched the lambs hearts(no rabbits left) I cut up for them, she went straight to the dry food on both occasions I have never really stayed to watch them eat before today so I dont know whether its a one off so as to speak or been going on since I have had her has anyone come across this before

some ferrets get very fussy when on dry food and refuse to take anything else I have had a couple that I have got off people that have been like this I just offered them fresh meat every day and no dry when they get hungry they will eat it mate but dry is handy in summer to stop fly's.

I use cheap kitten food as the oil is higher.

Is that a complete kitten food?

I feed mine a complete cat food because they prefer it to complete ferret

I find my ferrets lose condition using cat food so I use high protien compleat puppy biscuits and my ferrets are in top nick.

I feed myne rabbit as that's why I keep ferrets and some times they get chicken and once a week they get liver kidney and heart , I haven't really fed them ferret biscuits since the summer they are handy and I do buy them but don't feel the need if your out every week ,

James wellbeloved dry with beef minceis our daily meal for them and any rabbits, hares, bits of venison, etc we shoot gets put in for them, they thrive on it, always look well and work spot on

Yes it's complete, it has 35% protein and 12% oils and fats almost the exact same ingredients in ferret food. The big difference is the ferret food is £3+ and the kitten food is 77P
