what do you feed your ferrets?

[BIG-KEIRAN 0]

alryt ive kept ferrets for a number of years and they have always been fed on raw meat (rabbit ect...) i personally think its the best option due to it working for me all these years just wondering what you feed yours and what you think is best

I try to give mine meat as much as possible and during the ferreting season thats all they get, but during the summer if I can't give them meat it is James Wellbeloved (sp)

Anything i can get my hands on but its good to feed dry in hot weather so theres less flys attracted.

Aye i am sticking to dry (Alphaferret) during the day with a little meat on most nights (chicken and turkey leg), plenty of rabbit coming upto the season, and a egg every other week, thinking about feeding them mice and rat (purchased frozen from local reptile store), Does anyone think this is a wise move?

 

All the best,

Any kind of game, mainly rabbits and woodies. Dried food when its too hot and too many flies. Bit of chopped chicken if i'm desperate. Eggs etc for a treat. One thing to note tho is that rabbit doesnt have any fat on it so is no goof for raising weight etc.
