I purchased some a few weeks back and give it to mine a couple of times a week, they absolutely love it.if anyone else uses it give me a shout to what you think Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I dont use it but have spoken to people who use it to discuise the taste of baytrill or any meds they have to give daily, i think its like the ferretvite you can get. Personally i woulnt give it for other than the reason i gave above or for a very pooprly ferrt to encourage them to eat, thre again i am thinking ferretvite, is this the high calorie paste stuff like ferretvite Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 FFS, you people!!! " Malt Paste ", " Baytrill ", " Ferret Vite "?! And where the hell do Wild, Natural Born Mustalids get all this shit from, to keep Them in absolutely 100% tip top condition, in order to hunt and kill their Natural Diet??? You mugs really ought to try sitting down and Thinking for a minute IF ye Need to pump ye poor creatures full of exotic and unnatural - to them - shit and additives; Might it not be worth giving Natural Feeding a spin? Or is that just too passe for the new labour era of ferret husbandry? How many more times do those of us with a bit of experiance and a clue have to tell ye this? Ferrets are born designed to eat small, fresh, whole carcasses. If ye can't supply those ~ ALL year round ~ then perhaps ferrets just aren't for you? 'Special' diets. Addatives. Supplements. FFS. Out of the bloody pool with ye, Pul Eeeease! Quote Link to post
Stabs 3 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I used Ferretvite for years. The kits used to go mental for it and I got them to lick it off my finger tips. Got them used to being handled a bit easier in my opinion. Quote Link to post

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Dougie; Why don't ye at least leave it till ye've kept ferrets for ye first season before ye get shitty about my opinions on them, mate? Regards where my head may or not be and what's gone to it; It still likely contains more experiance based knowledge of ferrets than it looks like you'll ever pick up, let alone accept. Now go ahead and do ye thing. Read the sort of books ye like to read and put what ever ye choose into ye ferrets. Remain a firm desciple of the 'New Wave', as ye are. Re write natural history along with those ye prefer to listen to. I, thankfully, will be long dead by the time such ways become hammered home as the norm. Mheanwhile, during such time as I may have left to me, I promise ye; I'll never again interupt ye personal flow on ferrets. Ok? Now put ye dummy back in and suck. Bye, bye. Quote Link to post

And where the hell do Wild, Natural Born Mustalids get all this shit from, to keep Them in absolutely 100% tip top condition, in order to hunt and kill their Natural Diet??? Baytrill is a liquid antibiotic for small animals. and it tastes vile. i know this as one of my stinkers was prescribed it for a nasty abcess... when i gave him his dose he shook his head, and most of it ended up in my mouth... :sick: Synulox, now that's the best antibiotic for ferrets. they love the taste of it. crush the tablets up, mix with warm water, and give it with a syringe. piece of cake. and it will actually shift an abcess. um, keeping on topic, no, i don't give my ferrets malt paste, or any other suplement. and i've kept ferrets my whole life. went down the dry food route for a while. did them no good.

dougie_s410k 1 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 like i said...I ASKED WHO uses it....not for a sloppy answer insulting other ferret keepers.A kind answer usualy helps people remedy any mistakes they may have made by offering certain vitamin suppliments to ones ferrets.Offering a perculiar remark as you have done does not in any case help anyone, right or wrong? Its those kinds of attitudes that put fellow ferret owners off asking any questions on health/wellbeing and training that leads to the ferrets downfalls as the owners induldge in there own methods or by reading such books. now for that remark you may have put others off of asking such questions and in the long term are NOT helping anyone out AT ALL.experienced or not whose being the childish one by remarking that we are MUGS? bye bye :kiss: Quote Link to post

richie 1 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 sorry for putting my two bobs worth in, but no one has the right to tell others what to do... everyone has there own methods. i think its the same with all forums... you always get disagreements. people should be more diplomatic in giving advice.
