johnharris 177 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I have been doing some fishing lately and find that I have a good number of trout in the freezer. I am not a lover of it but my local water don't do catch and release. Have any of you ever fed fish to your ferrets. I have fed mine the roe from inside the fish and they love it and it hasnt done them any harm Quote Link to post

The one 8,503 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 tried being hard and leaving stuff lying in the hutch but after a day or so it's still there so i lob it in the bin , but if they work there socks off during the winter i suppose im due them a good feed of whatever they want ?. 1 Quote Link to post
