Okay, so SA37 is a supplement - will the Beaphar multivitamin spray or malt paste multivitamin (that we already have) be good enough - or is the SA37 superior?

 

Complementary feeding stuff packed full of vitamins and minerals, recognised by vets to help keep pets in good condition. Dogs and cats should benefit from regular daily use of SA-37 either as a tablet or powder mixed with their food. It helps to ensure that they get a correctly balanced supply of the essential nutrients needed to keep them in good condition, with handsome coats and healthy skins. SA-37 is especially recommended to be fed to growing puppies, pregnant or lactating bitches, and is used during periods of stress or convalescence. NOTE: SA-37 will also benefit other animals, reptiles or birds kept as domestic pets

 

I have not used the stuff for donkeys yrs but when i did i used to dust a day old in the stuff & they got it that way

good luck with the little one hope he starts gaining weight soon

I would get the tiny one to the vets tomorrow , ferrets can be racing about one min & dead the next, they can hide symptoms of illness untill its to late.

 

Personally i think the breeder needs a good kicking , i would ring the muppet & let them have both barrells , i hope & prey this little ferret makes it

 

People make me sick with there got to get rid attitude, if the cretin had fed free rabbit from the off & hung on to them a wee bit longer you wouldnt be having this problem, its so selfish

 

rabbit caught & froze cost bugger all but time, so no huge feeding bills, simple really but logic went out the window

 

Keep up the good work & pleeze keep us updated

Its good to see ferrets being well looked after and all but I think people are taking this all a bit serious Ferrets dont need "supplements" or anything like it, ARTEMIS chuck a rabbit in their with them they will be grand I dont feed 4 times a day, I dont have the time and theirs nothing wrong with any of mine Some people on here put pictures of their ferrets on here and their like fat bears, I like mine nice and thin. I find they hunt better when there hungry

Hope the little guy is ok

 

I agree with FL, They shouldnt be away from there mum yet even if they are 8 weeks (looks doubtful to me) they still should have realised that they wernt ready for homing.

 

Personally, In my very limited experiance (dads had them most my life, but only owned them and looked after them just over a year) with Ferrets I would ditch the dry food 100%, they dont need anything to 'crunch' apart from flesh, and bone when they are older Try and get hold of some Rabbit, if I dont have any Rabbit or Pheasent then mine get Chicken or mince. I also get them a big cows knuckle to chew on once a week in winter, keeps them entertained

 

If you have read up on american pet websites, try to forget everything you have read lol! I was looking at one the other day what said 'ferrets should never be fed meat'

 

They look stunners, very dark. Good luck with them

i agree with what you are saying for adult ferrets or even kits that where homed at the right age theses two little ones need a helping hand because they would still be getting this from there mother if it wasnt for the disonist breeder

 

 

hope the little one has picked up after eating last night
