FEEDING

[wyliecoyote 0]

Just after a few opinions , i dont have a constant supply of rabbit to feed my 3 ferts with due to not being able to get out as much as i would like and freezer space for keeping them in , is fresh pig / ox heart a good enough substitute for feeding ive heard a few people say dont give them liver but with heart being a muscle just wondered if it would make good feeding for them

I give mine Ox Hearts, There fine with it

 

Dont know if anyone else does, but once a week I give mine a big raw cows knuckle that most butchers will give away for free :thumbs-up: Keeps them entertained chewing and picking at it.

A bag of ferret complete comes in handy if you have no rabbit, as a substitute.

That should be ok. Just keep it mixed up as best you can! I feed mine whatever I can get hold of. That generally means a lot of rabbit in the winter, and mostly pigeons in the summer, but I've always got my eyes open. When I go beating for local shoots, I'll take anything off their hands that isn't given away, or doesnt go to the game dealer- there's always the odd pheasant that's been shot from about 6 inches away, and is no good to eat! I take squirrels with the airgun whenever I can, pick up fresh road kill- songbirds, game birds, deer, rabbits whatever.

 

Liver is ok for them, just not all the time. Variety is the spice of life! That goes for ferrets too!

Knuckle bones are also good for keeping teeth clean.

Im going to start feeding mine mince for the summer ,if i get the amount spot on i shouldn,t get much bother from flies and at £1.75 a kilo it should be cheap enough
