Bosun11 537 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'd very much doubt you'd have any problems with carcases or eggs, though with the eggs, dont over do it, more of an addition than a staple. Quote Link to post
Chopper22 10 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Yea there supposed to be quite high in protein and couldn't see a issue with then and a egg or 2 now and then but you never no with it being something not what they would usualy have Quote Link to post
The one 8,382 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Too many eggs can make a ferret bald maybe i've eaten too many as well ?. i'm no in favor of feeding day old chicks either there just a egg covered in fluff they have never had time to make muscle or bone Quote Link to post
Chopper22 10 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Haha aye well u never no. A bred bobwhite quail. Thought about getting some jumbo quail there rappid growers and quite a bird when up. Wasn't sure if any one else had gave it a go with the ferrets looking tip top on it Quote Link to post
Winterwitch 15 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Interested in this thread, I considered raising quails for our ferrets! Quote Link to post
Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Not sure if day old chicks are as good as they are only a day old low calcium levels and not much meat... I used them in my first season of owning ferrets and had no problems but dont use no more FF Quote Link to post
Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 I didnt mean anything by it its just my pennies worth as winterwitch said bout using quails as breeding for food FF Quote Link to post
Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 No... i use mainly rabbit, squirrels, pheasant (in season) and dry food from local pet store high protein 36% FF Quote Link to post
The one 8,382 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 3 hours ago, Our team said: Day old chicks. Best thing for young kits... Fluk eggs off. Chicks all day any time... Best thing for young kits is fresh meat and plenty of it with clean water 2 Quote Link to post

As I said you don't want your Jill taking dead things to nest and flies following.. Feed meat as its getting dark them and move the remains in the morning and a Sterling fly trap each side of the hutch cut down on the flies 1 Quote Link to post
