That's a new one on me. How exactly does Garlic do that then? I know onions are meant to be bad for them. Droid, check out these links: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cl...;articleid=2414 (note that the toxic dose is "unknown". ) http://www.vetcontact.com/en/art.php?a=711&t= http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/garlic.php Personally I like garlic and use it a lot in my cooking, but it isn't a wise selection for dogs or cats and definitely not ferrets. with the very small amount of blood in a ferret to begin with- I'd hate to see one suffe

Looks like a great first day! Cheers, Kim

OH dear! I surely wouldn't want to be in the same vehicle with your dogs! can't even imagine the smell they must make! :sick: Dogs might be able to handle garlic and onions- but vegetables aren't good selections for ferrets and garlic can cause anemia. I have to agree that a natural diet of whole prey is best for the ferrets and if you can't do that raw meaty bones - don't have to be minced- the ferret's teeth do a fine job! Cheers, Kim

A few with the ferrets and air rifles!!!!

Nice haul! Looks like your ferret is claiming her prize! Cheers, Kim -
Well that explains why I can't find any rabbit warrens around here- the rabbits are in the trees! Looked like a good day! Cheers, Kim

My natural fed ferrets get fed twice a day -morning and evening with sometimes some hand fed treats offered midday if I am home or late evening. Cheers, Kim

Awesome shots! Indie looks like he is right in step with the rabbit in so many of the pix! That's a great shot of the three running across the field. Rabbit and Indie mid air, matched stride for stride and the other dog catching up! Indie's got intensity written all over him! Great job! Cheers, Kim

Raw fed ferrets routinely eat bones- they 'll not eat all of the bigger bones from chicken or rabbit like leg and thigh bones; but practically every other bone is easily devoured. Bones are very high in protein and themarrow is full of fat, not to mention the calcium and phosphorous and other minerals. Cheers, Kim

Para, Were the youngsters the only ones you took? Or did you bring along a veteran or two to show them the ropes? If it was just the youngsters- four rabbits seems liek a pretty decent haul for their first time out! Glad to see them working out for you! Cheers, Kim

offer her some high fat foods and she'd likely benfit from more calcium & phosphorous too(bones). Raw chicken backs are very high in fat and have easy to eat bones that should help bring her back up to par. Cheers, Kim

Nice pix! Like your hutch set up! Do you find your ferrets use the salt wheels much at all? Didn't think ferrets used salt licks- thought that was more of a hamster necessity. Your ferrets are looking great! Cheers, Kim

I was diagnosed with allergy related asthma too and my Dr. told me I needed to live in a bubble! I told her she needed to get me really good drugs! She did! I am NOT about to give up the lifestyle and the companions that keep me happy just so I can live a long miserable life! If you'd install proper indoor plumbed toilets for your ferrets- you wouldn't suffer so! Cheers, Kim

I raise my own mice to feed to the ferrets. The colony isn't self sufficient yet- well not enough to actually FEED six ferrets; just gives them a good treat once or twice a week. But maybe in a couple months that will turn around. Just had almost 40 pups born so far this month and more does due to whelp this week! I've tried setting out live traps for mice in the barn, but so far, the barn mice are too smart. The live traps I set in the house to catch the escaped mice, well the domestic mice are very willing to walk into the trap! Mice are very nutritious for ferrets! Cheers, Kim

Awesome shots! You guys get to have ALL the fun don't ya? I am definitely jealous! Can't hardly imagine scaring up 60 rabbits in one small area! They must breed like, well, rabbits over there! Very impressive! Cheers, Kim

Some pix of my "indoor hunters": Cheers, Kim

My kids typically snooze in the extra covers as they slide onto the floor: Here are four of my six, making their rendition of a rainbow! Cheers, Kim

Anything I've researched so far says it isn't allowed. Apparently animal rights groups think its cruel for one animal to kill another. ANd even more cruel if a human lets the anima's natural predator erradicate aute little cotton tails that have become pests. Oh well. My kids at least get to erradicate mice which I "ranch" for this specific purpose! Cheers, Kim

Well the powers that be may be able to tell me what I cannot do in public, but I'll be danged if they'll dictate what I can do in my own home! Feeding live has helped me get two very vicious biters to figure out proper things to sink their teeth into, besides my flesh! One ferret I got was already labeled vicious and bounced from home to to home to home ( I figure I was her 6th home), another my last adoptee was headed in the same direction and I became his 4th and final home and he was only 8 months old! Both of these ferrets had been so traumatized by poor handling they designed sne

Hi all, Forgive me if this subject has been discussed before, I couldn't find anything specific doing a search. To give more background than what is in my intro: I am in the U.S. and we aren't allowed to use our ferrets to hunt, unfortunately. But I still have managed to veer off the beaten path and no longer feed kibble. Instead I feed my ferrets a variety of natural foods: Live prey consisting of:Mice, rats, guinea pigs, chicks, super worms, night crawlers, crickets; Raw meaty bones from: cornish game hen, rabbit, chicken wings, chicken necks, gizzards, hearts, livers, turkey n

Hello all, Found this forum as a result of a search for "ferreting"! I live in Florida in the U.S. and have 6 ferrets. All are what you would likely consider mere pets, but they do get to do their own version of hunting as I do allow them live prey as well as feed them an all natural diet. I must say I envy you who get to see your ferrets in action! To be able to partner up with a fuzzy friend, trek the outdoors and eliminate a pest sounds like a great way to spend the day! We aren't "allowed" to use ferrets like that here in the states. I suppose I could, but there would be some
