buy yourself a book mate, you can get them off ebay or amazon they'll tell you everything you need to know. but veg and fruit are off the menu, im also pretty sure ferret are lactose intolerent so no milk either. basically meat or complete ferret food

If i cant get to shops catfood, tinned or raw fish or poached/boiled/scrambled eggs are on the menu for my stinkers..

Is this a piss take? Ferrets cant digest fruit, and theyre lactose intolerant (they cant digest the sugar found in normal milk) By feeding foods you have mentioned you are

damaging your ferrets digestive system.

 

I give mine raw chicken wings, rabbit, pheasant, mince, livers, eggs, lactofree milk. Aswell as their dry food.

 

Surley folks can afford a bag of dry food or a box of wings. It just makes me wonder lol, i have about 20kg of dry in the garage and one tray in the freezer full of raw meat.

 

You will probs notice when feeding the bread and milk etc they have diahrea which realy their not getting any goodness from the food

as its just going streight through them, your lucky one of them hasnt had a blockage with the fruit.

Just to add ...., you will also notice that when a ferret is fed correctly there is generally less mess and there water consumption drops......Atb
