Dog meat or cat meat?

I don't want to change her to be honest. She's ate the same for 5 years and I'd rather let her keep a routine. I left a chicken wing with her overnight and in the day and se hadn't even had a nibble.

I've got a Jill that only eats dry cat food or wet catfood. Shes 5 and just a pet. I would feed wet catfood when I'm short of meat. Dry biscuits are always available.

 

When I fit my first hob he had been weaned onto wet catfood and when I weaned him onto meat he filled out in no time. Looks better aswell. When I got my kits off a guy on here, he was feeding them meat from an early age and there was a massive difference between them and my first hob in size, strength and condition( when they were the same age).

i feed mine, dry cat food and they both look healthy, yeah it would be better if i gave them flesh, but i cant get it on a regular basis, and buying from the supermarket chicken wings is well to expensive to feed ur ferret, and the reduced stuff only last two days and goes off. so in the end dry cat food is cleaner, easier and more easy to get hold off

mine gets any raw meat that isnt pork... most pork is fairly salted so thats the reason behind that.. 2 male hobs will go through a baby rabbit each in a day n a half now (took them about 2 n a half before)..... good thing to know about ferrets is they eat when there hungry.. they wont just wolf it down because its there.. so i try to keep some kind of food with them all the time. If im out of meat i have a bag of dry dog food thats high in protein just for a back up... or Ferret food from pets at home.. again.. as a backup.. id much rather give them what they should eat (meat)

for a drink they only have water, ive never given them milk.. mainly because they tip there bowls anyways so water in a bottle will do them

for a treat every now and then they get a raw egg or a day old chick..the egg is good because i make it so they have to get into it themselves.. keeps there brains active whilest there in the hutch..to get them to do this i gave them the taste of the egg.. then i half the egg shell.. then put a whole in the top of it with a screw.. now they crack them as they know whats inside (they didnt crack them straight away which i was quit suprised at)

 

to the guy saying he feeds them crow.. I always stuck by the rule of thumb that you should never feed anything on anything that eats something else.. if you look in the wild even lions dont eat animals that eat other animals. Crows are scavangers and that could cause them carrying disease. THATS JUST ME THOUGH.. it might be totally fine for them but turkey legs are so cheap mince is 98p at Asda.. rabbits/pigeons are free i just never bothered takin the risk with crows

 

(i guess foxes and rats and maybe family of the ferret and other animals obviously eat other dead animals but its just a risk thing for me)

 

=)

 

oh yea.. every time they catch a rabbit i cut out a kidney and they have that.. dunno why i do it but yea.

Bloody he'll, do you like writing essays haha. I only feed mine crows every now and then because I got them free. I clean the hutch out 100% when they've finished it. Each to their own though
