Feed or not.

Ferrets are designed for it though humans aren't mate

 

 

designed to do what exactly?? hunt on a full stomach??

 

Not a full stomach but hungry ferrets tend to tire quicker

 

 

so what are they designed to do??

 

the same can be said for humans, but you said ferrets are designed for it, humans aint...

 

im guessing your just talking shite again lol

 

Hunt you wee jock, ferrets have a faster metabolism than humans you prick

 

 

i should think so lol they are a fraction of our size lol your waffling shite pal, wipe yer chin an move on

 

You move on and come to my door as I gave you my address you scottish reject

I feed mine at night so when i go to box them in the morning they still have some meat left . as i like a breakfast before i go out i like the ferrets to have some a working ferret should be hunting for fun not because its hungry ,then when we stop for lunch offer them a drink and some liver out a rabbit

Get to know your ferrets. Some work better when they are not fed or fed very lightly the night before or in the morning and others it doesn't seem to bother.

Yes feed them the night before or they will be hungry and eat down if they kill. I feed mine and if they happen to kill they move on. Yes i always use a locator but will save the ferret feeding and resting up on the kill.

Folk saying, feed the night before and they willhave something in their stomach the next day.

 

I'd be surprised if they still have a full stomach 8 hours plus after feeding,being that they hav every short digestive tracts.

Only times I'd intentionally work a ferret hungry was if it was killing and moving on in the blink of an eye or if it didn't seem too keen on working just to see if it made a difference.

[Guest vin]

plenty of water as well...I always take a little feeder bottle and give em plenty of fresh water throughout the day..they get very dehidrated grafting away.

 

By the way..they didgest meat in around 4 hours , Not 8 hours like people think. . .so if you take them out starving hungry they are gonna stay on thier kill and more likely have a nice little lie up and a rest on the nice warm juicey bunny.
