OldTrapCollector 376 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Ferrets are first rate carnivores and need the red flesh diet to thrive, whilst they will eat other things (bread and milk) then it will not agree with their digestion (proof in the latrine corner) but they will eat it. I would think that the same goes for fruit or veg. OTC Quote Link to post

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 To paraphrase Val Porter, in her superb " The Complete Book of Ferrets ": " Don't deprive ye ferrets of the more interesting tastes and textures in life. " I wouldn't even be talking on this Thread had I not personally found backberry seeds in wild mustalid shit Mine too were absolute buggers for a bit of ice cream and even enjoyed a spot of chillie. Kidney beans 'n all Obviously, the key word is moderation. Quote Link to post
