his diet now is dryfood available all the time then, a rabbit for 2 days or a chicken breast each night something on that lines , ill post a photo tommorow as its pretty late now

i would not give him dried at the moment keep him on as much fresh meat as possible until the summer and watch the amount of dried you give him then,young hobs tend to over eat ,i only have dried freely available all year is to my senior lot .if you carnt get hold of fresh every day mix cat biscuits in to the ferret biscuits they are lower in fat

feed them what they were bred to eat meat and plenty fresh water but control there feeding , i think youve got the pamperd to much a ferrets a n extesion to the stoat family you dont see many fat stoats so keep them leen and well fit , if mine start getting lazy when working drop the food and they sooo remember they have yo work for a living when there asked to do the rabbits
