what to feed kitts

[wwwaaron2 0]

ive just bought two kitts and im just wondering what is best to feed them

[happy larry 3]

flesh if you can get it, and if you cant get rabbit,squirrel etc, just get a pack of chicken wings only cost a couple of quid, but as your in ireland euro`s.A pack of wings should last 2 kitts 4/5 days but feed late evening to avoid flies. If any chicken remains un eaten in the morning remove it. Also give them a bit of complete say once a week then if there come a time when you cant get flesh,they will be used to dry food

im not having a dig here but you should have asked the breeder what they had been fed on,ie dry food or flesh.if they are used to dry food then most bigger pet shops stock a ferret complete food. If they are used to flesh and you cant get rabbit,squirrel etc, just get a pack of chicken wings only cost a couple of quid, but as your in ireland euro`s.A pack of wings should last 2 kitts 5 days but feed late evening to avoid flies. If any chicken remains un eaten in the morning remove it

 

the breeder feed them on dry food.i know that i just thought it would be easier for them to eat something softer.if ya know what i mean??

you ever felt a kitts teeth

they are design to eat flesh and bone,

dry is ok if theres nothing else, but as suggested, rabbit,pidgeon,squirrel etc, and if not shop bought chicken, dont go for mince, to mutch water content in it

the last 3 litters of kits i have had were only fed on dry food mate from start till the day i give them away the mother and sister are only fed dry food and the work very very well

evan the kit from last year is one good worker so to me it does not mater if you feed dry or flesh food they all end up the same only flesh food is cheaper

I use dry ferret food and it advises to soak it in a little water for kitts up to 16 weeks.

mate, did I mention feeding flesh to make them good workers no

 

I was simply replying, that they are built to eat flesh and bone, so dont need "something softer"

Flesh on the bone is best if available if not a good quality dry food is fine
