ellir0305 9 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 woodys are also good ferret food. just been speaking to my mate and he tries to vary thier diet as much as possible because after all there a desendants of polecats which are oppotunists and will take anything woodys are good for me too i shoot the farm doves and feral type pigeons which are healthy as anything and perfect size for a couple of ferts Quote Link to post
postiepaul 0 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 good food and easy to get when theres loads in the cornfields, I stick a knife in the top of the breast and slice down to give the ferrets a good start because sometimes, young ferrets especially, dont break into them very well.

max abell 196 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 We give ours crows rooks and magpies all the time with no probs they also like jackdaws woodies and jays the only thing our lot dont seem to like is game like pheasent etc A diet of fur feather and raw meat and a bit of dry food tends to keep our lot in good nik with no illnesses touch wood Quote Link to post
bramble 0 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Shot 4 woodies and a jackdaw last week i noticed how much the jackdaw smelt,it seemed to be an healthy bird, just stunk so did not feed it to my ferrets left it for charlie, is this the norm with jackdaws? Quote Link to post
