R4881T 1 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hello, Can anybody help? Tonight I found a ferret on our front lawn, it is rather small, and I would suggest not very old. It is currently in an old guinea pig run in our shed. It has hay, shavings, water and some dry dog biscuits (as suggested by a friend). As I have never had a ferret before I was wondering the best thing to feed it? I have a couple of rabbits in the freezer that are skinned and gutted. Can I just chop them up and give it portions od that? Cheers Ryan Quote Link to post

DogMagic 461 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Any raw meat. I see your an airgunner, shoot some squirrels and pigeons for it. Rabbits the natural diet but they love pigeons, squirrels and so on too. Dont bother with crows etc. I wouldnt feed rats to mine neither, filthy f*****g things! And feed whole, dont skin. Gut yes if you want to but leave the offal in. As for training: you shouldnt have to, a ferrets instinct is to explore a dark hole that smells of rabbits and when they find a rabbit their instinct is to try n kill it. The rabbits instinct is to get outa here! Lol! If it does seem a little slow off the mark let it follow an experienced ferret down for the day. Quote Link to post
