GreyRake 108 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 They will naturally get fatter for winter. Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Once you start working them regular, they will soon get fit. Quote Link to post
Jarvis 277 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 They will put on weight over the winter, I wouldn't worry about it, it has never bothered me. Get them out regularly to keep them fit but also have pipes and tunnels in the hutch/ court for exercise and to entertain them. Quote Link to post
onthehunt 40 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Out of season when not working, my lot get run of the garden, house and local open spaces rest of the year. They get played with too with toys etc. They are nice and fat right now but always on the go Quote Link to post
The one 8,513 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Once you get them out more there stamina will increase and its handy to have a bit of fat on them if your out in the rain ,snow etc Quote Link to post
Patty123 28 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Get your ferrets out doing as much hunting as you can and they'd be fit in no time Quote Link to post
