what do you feed your ferret ??

[JRTMAD2k10 11]

hello i was wondering what do you feed your ferret and how often ?

 

do you just feed them dry food if so how often ?

 

or do you feed both raw and dried ?

 

if i give 2 ferrets a pigeon between them when would i have to feed them next withing hours or the next day ?

 

thanks for your help in advance

when your feeding like a rabbit or a pigeon do you just leave it as it is with all its guts n all in it and fur or feather still on ?

flesh and nothing but flesh

2 ferrets will eat a pigeon in a day not all at once but will keep coming back to eat some more until only the legs will be left

Everyday for mine. They have dry down all the time and they have raw meat everynight. Tonight they had pheasant necks.

[COMPO 54]

once a day, depending on time of year, during the summer and warmer months late at night so that the heat doesn't make the meat go off...........as stated portion wise a pigeon between two is enough. during the colder months it doesn't matter what time the food is given as its not hot enough to go off before they can eat it all.

 

give fresh water daily (i use a pot dog bowl) and tidy away any left overs (but there shouldn't be any/much)

 

My ferret eats all sorts of food, when shot/caught stuff is at a minimum then a chicken wing a day keeps him ok, when i have been ferreting he eats a rabbit head a day until they are all gone, i do have some dry food but its not very good for them and as a price to weight thing even the cheapest is actually dearer than fresh chicken wings from the supermarket.

Dry food isnt that good or cheap so I and other posters dont give it in preference to meat, just like they would get themselves in the wild
