Fattening Up A Ferret

[Gazmapp 13]

Evening all, I have just taken a Jill off a so called friend who has not looked after her at all she is just skin and bones but is the most friendly of ferrets I know I picked her up and she just licked my finger and curled up in my side, it's heart breaking to see her so thin, how can I fatten her up a bit so she is same size as my others, also for the record I've put her in with mine and she loves it with the others

a good quality dry food (wellbeloved) normally fattens them up quick...............

I would feed her a complete in the morning, with Rabbit at night, cheap raw beef mince, if you can get it and two raw eggs a week, maybe better on her own, you can spoil her then, then when she is in good nick, put her in with the others.

Think it might be better with the others now if no fighting, will keep her warm and contented. Wont take long to get the weight back on her, has she been wormed.

Birds like dove pigeon and magpie seem to put weight on a ferret faster than rabbit meat.

I got 2 2 weeks ago exactly the same and gave them a rabbit with jus the guts out. Lasted them 2 days at a time within a week they feel greatwhen handling them
