Ferret Newbie

[whiteracer 258]

Just purchased my first ferret and was wondering bar the ferret dry biscuits, woodies and rabbits is there anything else I can give her?

squirel, cat meat

[Stretch177 36]

I personally would leave the cat/dog meat alone, chicken carcasses, beef/chicken/lamb mince, rabbits, offal(liver, heart, lung), fish, pheasants, crows, magpies, squirrels, eggs(1 a week) anything meat wise really. Although i don't feed pork

Cheers I ve got more of an idea now, without sounding to 'thick' what do you do with the egg (crack it into a bowl or leave it whole)

Crack it in a bowl and give it a quick whisk with a fork.

Almost any kinds of raw meat -pheasant, pigeon, squirrel etc. From the supermarket - mince, chicken, fish etc.

Dont feed cat food, not made for ferrets, buy complete ferret food in Summer, when flies are about.

no need to whisk egg, just crack over complete, they will demolish it.

in Winter months feed Rabbit.

that's my feeding regime, you can of course use mince chicken wings etc if you wish'

Fresh meat and clean water

most meat except pork, I don't know if pork does them damage but I think its because of their salt content sometimes. ferrets can get dehydrated easily. well so ive been told

Are you sure that's the reason, not that pork is the closest tasting meat to human flesh apparently and you don't want them getting a taste for that. lol.

Mate, I was just having a laugh. I didn't think that was really the reason for a second. lol

pork is fine as long as its not cured(treated with salt) mine love half a pigs head to munch on in there court.steer clear of cooked bones as they can splinter and mine absoloutly love raw fish......heads an all.and always leave the fur/feathers on as this helps clear internal parrasites
