mick20 23 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Mainly dried all-in-one ferret food with the odd pigeon and rabbit thrown in 1 Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 You can feed them whats been mentioned - but why wouldn't you feed them meat? You've got ferrets - there's no excuse Mine get all game/vermin taken apart from fox. Also eggs and goats milk. And some dried food in summer if it gets real hot. They are obligate carnivores which means they can only really digest meat (or at least things with very high protein - hence egg and dry food). Quote Link to post
The one 8,482 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Mine are getting minced chicken all the time just now but its usually rabbits Quote Link to post
ulverston moocher 60 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Wag dog food isnt any good mate if your gonna feed dry get a proper ferret food or you can buy beta pup loose from any pet shop but you can't beat meat if my freezer gets low on stuff chicken wings from asda £2 for about a dozen can't beat them my ferrets love em and are in great condition but I do feed a bit of dry in summer for the smell and keep the flys away Quote Link to post
Jamie m 668 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 On the day I go ferreting all they get that evening is liver heart and kidneys and a bit of fat from around the kidneys from the rabbits if I can it's meat all the way but dry in the summer with meat inbetween and liver kidney on ocasions Quote Link to post
