Country Joe I feed mine bread and milk about 3 times a week With fresh meat only been doing it fir a couple of months, dad gets a load of bread for the pigs and iv always given it to the young uns so I thought why not ... My ferrets have never looked so good, they probs won't get it in summer tho

bread and milk? i heard this isn't good for ferrets as bread swells and ferrets are lactose intolerant?

[nat 8]

Iv never heard that before. Only origanly started because dad said he used feed his on it for years and my ferrets love it so unless it's proven it's bad for them they will get it because seriously this mixed with fresh meat they look great ?

In summer mine get the odd pigeon and dry food, in winter there fed on woodies, rabbits and pheasant.

ferrets are carnivores and eat meat, they are designed to eat meat, bread is not meat.

this is what i thought.. what about milk?

[patterdalejoel 669]

to me, the ferrets in my hutch are wild apart from their temperments. and i once read, for us to get the best out of an animal, we must replicate their natural behaviour. now i cant let them run around in the garden, but i can feed them like a ild polecat, namely meat and what they would find/catch in the wild. bread and milk is not found in the wild, and a ferret is not designed to digest either effiecntly, so it is pointless and possibly damaging feeding bread and milk, as it is filling stomach space where meat and all the goodness and vitamins and minerals could be being digested, just my thoughts.

Don`t give milk,, ferrets can`t deal with it,, It used to be fed,cause it was cheap, no need for it now,

 

Mines get cat milk every now and again (lactose free),, the odd egg etc,, but mainly they are on a mix of dry and rabbit, mainly rabbit when the freezers full,, but they get anything I can find,, fish, pigeon, squirrel, chicken, etc etc, They also love a wee bit fruit,, any fruit, especially bananas and grapes,, small amounts though

Isn't it I thought it cane from a cow ... I'm well aware bread isn't a meat. Dogs are also carnivores so why feed pasta and veg?
