ferret100 47 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Mine have a mixture of different dried foods (a mix of whatever good brands on offer ) plus a range of meats and fish (cooked or raw, I never waste scraps ). Raw eggs every few weeks as a treat, same with lactose free milk, daily Ferrets Formula. Variety is a very good way to maximise their intake of what they need, not every meat etc holds enough nutritional requirement. As long as the dried food is decent quality and the meat/fish is raw, is non-processed or cooked with salt/herbs etc then it's good to go. Mine get meat summer and winter, in summer I portion the meat into an amount I know they'll eat overnight, freeze the lot and defrost a daily portion, feed at night when flies gone and remove any small scraps if any in morning.
