Sometimes they stash their food away for later..

Mine were a bit funny about eating chicken for months when I was switching them to raw, they' just store it in the nest boxes. I found they'd eat it if I cut it up into small pieces and then after a while they'd eat the whole drumstick.

As malt says they ferrets do things like that if you are giving them chicken drumsticks i would give the dry food a miss that day

Also remember to take any meat out in the morning when the weather warms up else the dredded flies will be on it and it's maggot ridden in no time it's ok this time of year when it's cold to leave for a couple of days
