dso88 15 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 i was watching animal park which is longleat safari park they used to feed theyre ferrets on ferret food but theyre vets and researchers have studied over a number of years and have found that the ferrets are in peak condition when they are fed on cat food and the occasional meat Quote Link to post

shepp 2,285 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Ever noticed how the women feel they have to go over the top with the mothering the ferrets routine. Makes the site look a bit silly. Quote Link to post

CommanderData 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 i buy off cuts of meat from the butchers in frozen bags, the bags are 1lb and cost me 30p each, my ferrets have this when i have no rabbits for them, i also give them wiskas complete dry, the one with the meat parcels in them, i only use this when there is nothing else to give them and it is because i have 2 cats and thats what they eat. i also give them fresh eggs off my chickens once a week as a treat. what's the bet someone has a problem with giving eggs to the fezzers??? What's the bet that someone doesn't know the problems that albumen causes? Someone like you, for instance? Quote Link to post
CommanderData 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 well it is 100% protine but as a treat i think most foods are ok. i think a varied diet is best whatever you decide to feed. as people have said would you feed your kids on burgers, well my answer to that is yes but in moderation. Eggs are not 100% protein, but then again neither is meat of course. Quote Link to post
