Rake aboot 4,935 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Get rid of the gloves for a starter. Man up they are only wee ferrets !! lol.. The gloves won`t help though. Try pushing your finger further in when they bite, not hard but enough to make them gag a wee bit, they seriously do not like this and it has been found to really help with biters ATB Quote Link to post

AndyKelly 251 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 to much egg can cause some to shed their fur (protein) so the egg thing is best kept as a treat . cat milk is fine as the lactose is not in it. i did give mine the cd jab yesterday but that was only after careful consideration and a major outbreak of canine distemper in my area. i innoculate the dog so i have to give the ferrets a fighting chance.feed ferret biscuts, liver and once a week meat as a treatand i wet the biscuits down with water otherwise dry food means loads of water to sake their thirsts Quote Link to post

Jiminy 0 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I've give my kits meat and have dry on offer. The meat is the likes of ox heart etc and chicks so they are getting bones. Cheap and cheerful. The guy I got them from had them on cat food but took them off that. Quote Link to post

patterdalejoel 669 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 mine get a few rabbit heads a day at the moment, with proper meat every few days or so, they are stayling slim and fit, when fed too much before they got fat as pigs. also just necked a hen and chucked it in the hutch with my jill and 2 kits, they go mental for it, cant get fresher than that. 1 Quote Link to post
