If he asnt had meat from young he wont recognise it as food. They imprint on food at very young age.

yeah he was only fed dry food from kit when i give meat all he does is stass it in corners but never eats it , when i work him he will bottle them up at a stop end kill the first 1 and stay with it till dug to. He's the type of ferret you deffinately need a coller on only worked him once without a coller never again. atb sp

Mine are fed exclusively on meat, that's how they were brought up so just carried it on. Chicken thighs/drumsticks/wings/carcasses, mince, rabbit, pigeon, crows, magpies, squirrel, liver etc with the odd egg thrown in about once a week. Good tip for people who feed meat/flesh is too keep an eye on the 'reduced priced' section in the supermarkets, for the stuff going out of date or with damaged packaging. Had some good bargains from there including a few whole raw chickens, that i jointed and then froze for use later.

pigeon and rabbit a raw egg once a week

Im guesing your refering to wet cat or dog food in the title. My opinion in this day in age no ferrets should be eating wet cat/dog food. Even if you cant get meat

ferret should atleast have dry ferret food.
