feeding


Recommended Posts

i got thinking is it better to keep feeding carcass to the ferrets in this really cold weather or would they be better of on the dry type of feed for ferrets ,why i say this is the dry feed must have a higher oil,fat level in it then say rabbit or pigeons .your thoughts please :snack:

I always feed meat no that dry crap but ive started putting the rabbits ,pigeons etc in the bed compartment as i think the heat from the ferrets will keep it defrosted longer and there mixing in the feathers and pelts with there shavings and shredded paper

I know i've upped the amount mine get fed to be on the safe side, (They'll not be out for a few weeks for sure).

They have got really fat on the chicken carcases. I don't really feed mine any of the dried food, but they soon pack on the pounds in a week or two on meat, they are certainly not struggling the fat buggers. :icon_eek:
