feeding the ferts

[jackwhippet 3]

A lot of people i've spoke to use frozen chicken pieces

I find my ferrets lose condition using cat food so I use high protien compleat puppy biscuits and my ferrets are in top nick.

 

Unless taurine is included in the puppy biscuit ingredients, this could lead to cardiac problems. Also, regular feeding of any food which is high in carbohydrates to a ferret can result in gastrointestinal problems and/or insulinoma.

my ferrets are fed on meat until the summer months wich I then swap onto the buiscuits(beta pup) wich I have fed to my ferrets over 20 years and havnt had a problem yet and my ferrets are graffters not fat pets to just cart around shows they are as fit as fiddles and this works for me just my way of doing it.

I have just noticed both yesterday and today that my jill from non working parents hasn't touched the lambs hearts(no rabbits left) I cut up for them, she went straight to the dry food on both occasions I have never really stayed to watch them eat before today so I dont know whether its a one off so as to speak or been going on since I have had her has anyone come across this before
