ferrets & milk

[Kay 3,709]

A thought just occured to me that predators very well could find milk in the wild; my ferrets all go nuts when given a milky doe. The first thing they do is lick it out and eat the mammary glands [ :sick: ] then onto the organs as per usual.

So giving a little milk could well be beneficial.

 

Thats a thought , i never thought of

As always ,an informed description .

Right then -MILK .

We as humans and top of the food chain ,are the only mammals to offer milk to anyone or anything beyond weaning .It is unnatural for an animal to drink milk beyond weaning .Just because they like it dosnt mean its good for them .Take macdonalds for instance .

People seem to want to pass on human idiosyncrasies to animals without thinking about nature .The diorrhia that milk causes is very unnatural.Think about it .

What you say is kind of what i was trying to say but didnt know how to word it i just brouched the subject of milk as i read on a forum someone is regularly giving there ferrets SMA powdered milk intended for human babys

 

I had a think & thought it must be this nertureing thing (sp) like milk somehow is a caring type thing as you feed it babys , i dunno really maybe its me

Stick to feeding raw flesh that the ferret is designed for .
