Ferret found

[R4881T 1]

Hello,

 

Can anybody help? Tonight I found a ferret on our front lawn, it is rather small, and I would suggest not very old. It is currently in an old guinea pig run in our shed. It has hay, shavings, water and some dry dog biscuits (as suggested by a friend).

 

As I have never had a ferret before I was wondering the best thing to feed it? I have a couple of rabbits in the freezer that are skinned and gutted. Can I just chop them up and give it portions od that?

 

Cheers

Ryan

Any raw meat. I see your an airgunner, shoot some squirrels and pigeons for it. Rabbits the natural diet but they love pigeons, squirrels and so on too. Dont bother with crows etc. I wouldnt feed rats to mine neither, filthy f*****g things! And feed whole, dont skin. Gut yes if you want to but leave the offal in. As for training: you shouldnt have to, a ferrets instinct is to explore a dark hole that smells of rabbits and when they find a rabbit their instinct is to try n kill it. The rabbits instinct is to get outa here! Lol! If it does seem a little slow off the mark let it follow an experienced ferret down for the day.
