Ferrets eating Squirrel

[Hob&Jill 258]

Ferrets Favorite meal

 

First time I have fed them Squirrel, they went crazy over it when I first put it on.

 

I am trying the leg meat tonight, Never ate Squirrel before, not sure what to expect lol.

Tree rat is the definate favourite with our ferrets,they don't hoard it as with other foods.

I prefer to tie it up So they get to tug it around around and tare the flesh of easier and also stops them dragging it into there bed and geting it all wet with blood.

 

You seem rather agressive? There is no harm to the ferrets being done, I dont leave the rope in there long.

 

Just checked the Squirrel now and theyve ate all the rib cage and heart, lungs etc and now having a nap lol.

Ah, I put one ones by the doorway so they have to climb over it, there normally on top of each other but the ferret knocked one of when eating the Squirrel. Gives them something to climb over, keeps them active, and you never know might help keep there nails down?.

 

The ones by the shit corner are to keep the shit spreading all over the gaff. Im trying to find something abit more practical but as we have loads of bricks (just done a patio) thought I would use them.

 

Oh and I have cleaned them out lol, I had been feeding the dry food that past weeek as I didnt have any meat on me, Has anyone else noticed that ferrets shit about 10x the amount on dry than meat?

Lol, Wouldnt mind trying that myself.

 

Heard of a few people doing it, bet a Squirrel would be a tough match for a Ferret though, I would try the Poly Jill in the video, shes a tough little fert. I want to gain abit more experiance before I try it though.

 

What do you guys think, in terms of a harder match for Ferret, Rat or Squirrel?

 

Ive never tried ratting either, To be honest I have been put of by the tales in one of Plummers books of Ferrets coming out with there Jaws and Eyes bitten off.

a squirrel can bite alot harder than a rat,i do a fair bit of ratting and squirrels and i have ferrets here that will do rat and will not do squirrel,most ferrets will do rats but not many will do squirrel

Shit corner...roofing slate with sides(cut 5inch strips of slate and liquid nail to base slate) works for me. I say 5 inch sides as mine are 4 and the buggars manage to fire the odd crap over the top
