I know that badgers will probably eat them whole, just saying that theres people out there who get joy from stuff like that. As long as they are ok though, im not really bothered.

an update is they seem to be fine with it so far

lol mine look a spit as well. they probably all do as kits.

would they not run away if they were on the grass.

an update is. The polecat is great, its gentle doesnt bite or even nip it eats plenty, drinks plenty and comes to the hutch door when i open it and waits for you to pick him up then he climbs all over my tshirte tc and is by far the funnest of the two, it also seems to be a bit bigger then the albino. The albino used to nip but after having the finger technique done a few times it doesnt seem to be doing it as much its only bit me once in the last day and a half and even then it was more of a nibble. It seems to sleep allot more and isnt as playfull its the one that is a little bit sma

well at the minute theyve got a bowl of dry kibble and ive seen them use the water bottle so im fairly sure they are using it properly when thirsty. I also gave them some frankfurt sausages to munch on. My grandmothers making a sundays dinner tomorrow so ill get a slither of raw meat off of the joint for them. They seem ok though, the polecat doesnt really bite and seems fairly friendly it plays and gets hypo to the white one though seems to be a bit more bitey and wants to sleep all the time it also seems to bully the brown one when its awake. They seem fairly settled though, they p

yeah i know but like 1 pound worth of tuarine would last a good 6 months+ thats all I asked for as 1 pound isnt very expensive. lol

Just feed them Kibble over the Summer months and an egg between them once a week. If you want to treat them, get some cod liver oil to mix with the egg. After a long time of continued ferret ownership something I have learned is that you will never find all the meat and flies will lay eggs in blood stains. Personally I don't like to keep maggots in my ferret hutch. You will learn. John BTW. You will even get maggots with damp kibble!! thanks for the info, one of the ferrets seems to have runny turd so im guessing its a result of the meat. As for the damp kibble it will be chang

No worries, just thought id ask to see what the crack about this taurine stuff is.

Allot of these ferret treats ive seen seem to flaunt that they are rich in taurine as does the pastes etc and a lot of food. Anyway since allot of these treats etc are like 5 pound for 30g (not that im bothered just saying) you can get a 100g bag of pure taurine for like a pound. Would it be good for the ferrets if you gave them a tiny pinch of taurine in with their food? doing that would be like 0.01g at most so im asuming that thats not to much. So anyway, do you guys think that this is a good idea? getting a 100g bag and giving them a tiny pinch in with their kibble? cheers.

Ill probably feed them what i get when working them but at the minute its just ferret kibble and meat. Did you get them from good stock ? apparently the parents are both workers, talked to the bloke who i got them off apparently he goes ferreting fairly regularly.

If they are taking the lumps of meat into their sleeping area should I remove it on a daily basis to avoid maggots etc?
