ben0777317 0 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Eventually used all the rabbits in my freezer so I payed £11 for a sack of dried ferret food. The ferrets won't touch it even after soaking it overnight to make it soft. Anyone know how to get them eating it? Quote Link to post

theferreter 311 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 your ferrets are to used to getting rabbit and there just turning there noses up at the dry mix but they will get used till it mate il always give my ferrets both types of food so you never has this problem when you run out of 1 try mixing a bit of gravy in with it or chicken stock:thumbs: Quote Link to post
