Ferret mad Dave 65 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Cheers boys so he was kind to telling truth Quote Link to post
DogMagic 461 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Im sure he was telling the truth mate. Everyones different. I give mine rabbit all the time. When i look in the cage its almost gone i defrost another one and chuck it in the cage next morning. I sometimes give them fish as a treat or butchers offcuts if i forget to get a rabbit out for them. They have had dry food in the past too. Theres plenty of people out there who feed nothing but dry. Personally i think a ferret is meant to eat whole carcasses so that what i give them. Quote Link to post

oakey 57 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Heart and kidneys are good now and then, also chicken wings as the bone is good for them but in the summer time mine mainly have dry food, but make sure you give plenty of water as dry food does make them thirsty Quote Link to post
