Jamo 90 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 so im getting a couple of kits on the weekend, dont know if this is enough for them i have chicken carcass/organs, liver, kidney, lamb and tripe minced, beef minced and eggs that the dogs get any help appreciated Quote Link to post
scothunter 12,609 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 dont give them to many eggs,more a treat,i never gave mine the whires of an egg, to much liver heart will give them the skits. you can buy turkey legs from asda ,they love it and its a cheap source if you stuck. goats milk not cows,but aye the beef lamb is ok,at that age there like locusts,eat anything, my poleys ate rabbits and there eyes werent even open lol 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Plenty fresh meat and clean water , two ferrets arent going to eat a load so watch it doesn't go off in this weather were feeding ours at 11pm just now 1 Quote Link to post
Jamo 90 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 cheers for the advice so i can feed them chicken, beef, lamb and tripe (as is pre mixed) with a tiny bit of organ and egg a week ? should be balanced enough? they will get rabbit and birds when they are shot/caught are there any animals you wouldnt feed the meat to the ferrets?

brucemyster 75 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 first thing would be ask whom ever your buying them off what they've been weaned on, might save yourself a few bob if they could tell you what they'd tried them on already and whether they'd eaten it or not, mine aren't to keen on liver and kidney for instance. sounds like they wont be starving anyhow, good luck with them ATB Quote Link to post
Jamo 90 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 he feeds on dry food, rabbit, pigeon that he shoots, i know the brand he uses and might just buy a sack to get them off of it slowly i think all raw is better and have the food in for dogs anyway, so dont think i need to bother with more dry food unless the run gets full of flies thanks for info Quote Link to post
