Just A Quick Question

[mybrainhurts 23]

I just feed my ferrets the normal dry ferret food from the petshop and I've been thinking of giving them little treats so last night I gave them a couple of boiled eggs between them and I've just bought some day old chicks, and what I've read a couple of DOC's a week is ok as a treat but would that mean if I've gave them eggs one wk I can't give them the DOC's that week as treats I'll have to wait till next week ??

Too many eggs causes there hair to fall out so you will see it happening , but if you want to give them a treat try asda or tesco's and buy a box of chicken wings and some liver but just give them the liver once a week as well

Something to look into, pet ferret food. Is near on exactly the same make up as kitten food. And a hell of a lot dearer.

The eggs will once in a blue moon but the DOC's will most prob be once or twice a wk. I know a fella who goes shooting so am gonna see if he will pass me the odd woodie and hopefully when the ferrets are ready we'll catch a rabbit or too . I keep seeing people say about cat/kitten food but I'll stick to the one's made for ferrets , am new to keeping ferrets and I don't mind paying a bit extra if I have too.

 

Thanks everyone for the advice , much appreciated

DOC's are not eggs and have flesh, bone and other goodies in them. Feeding both is fine in same week, I and many others do it no problems yet They also get woodies, rabbit or supermarket meat depending on my mood

chicken wings from supermarket..great grub.

 

start feeding them on rabbit and they might be more inclined to wanna also hunt it.

 

not knocking you or anyone else..but dry food is ok when you cant get anything else.
