I do alot of shooting mainly rabbit, magpie and pigeon before I get a ferret I want to do as much research as possible. I wondred for diet should I take the meat of the bones or should I give the meat with the bones or should i mix just meat with dry food. Should I give the meat raw. What diet applys for kits.

 

If feeding raw meat then they absolutely need the bone, if they don't get bone they will develop calcium deficiencies. Best [and easiest] is to feed what you catch- knock the guts out of the rabbits and feed them whole- fur, bone, meat, organs. Pigeons can be fed whole. When I run out of grub that I've caught myself I buy chicken necks and frames- they love these and they are cheap. Same diet for kits.
