Dameize 7 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Allot of these ferret treats ive seen seem to flaunt that they are rich in taurine as does the pastes etc and a lot of food. Anyway since allot of these treats etc are like 5 pound for 30g (not that im bothered just saying) you can get a 100g bag of pure taurine for like a pound. Would it be good for the ferrets if you gave them a tiny pinch of taurine in with their food? doing that would be like 0.01g at most so im asuming that thats not to much. So anyway, do you guys think that this is a good idea? getting a 100g bag and giving them a tiny pinch in with their kibble? cheers. Edit** note that the tubes of beaphar stuff have about 4.5g in them Edited June 24, 2011 by Dameize Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 No, just feed them a good, balanced diet either kibble or whole mixed game. Quote Link to post
Dameize 7 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 No worries, just thought id ask to see what the crack about this taurine stuff is. Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Beats me mate, it's o as a treat, but if they are well fed, it's unnecessary imo Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 No need for it,,, just feed them rabbits, whatever else you can kill / find,, or a good quality dry food like Alpha,, or a mix of the above,, this paste stuff is just a treat,, a diversion for the ferrets that MAY be usefull for handling to some people,, It is not a suppliment no matter what it says on the tube,, ferrets don`t NEED it,, ATB Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 None of my animals get anything other than a species appopriate diet, there lives are simple & clutter free of suppliments & faddy things , it works for me and has done for years , i dont give treats or eggs or milk or the latest '' must have'' i simply dont mend whats not broken Quote Link to post

Dameize 7 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 yeah i know but like 1 pound worth of tuarine would last a good 6 months+ thats all I asked for as 1 pound isnt very expensive. lol Quote Link to post
hunt 30 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Get to the slaughter house and ask for a few raw bulls knackers to feed them plenty of taurine in them Quote Link to post
