Scuzy 1 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hello, I have 2 albino hob ferrets and the one seems a little on the chubby side, i feed him just as much as the other one and he seems fine but i havent worked the fat one yet anyone have any ideas???Diets,etc...

knocker 0 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 i havent worked the fat one yet i think you may have answered it yourself mate......plus all ferrets are not the same size and shape mate, most ferts put weight on during summer due to not working, work him and watch him get thin Quote Link to post
MikeTheDog 153 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 The dominate hob will take most of the food....and get fat!...Cut their food back, if one gets too thin then seperate them for a while. ...This years kits by chance? Quote Link to post

I just like to maintain a healthy weight if i possibly can , if you find you have a little food left each day then you know there getting enough, if theres none at all i would up it a wee bit till you find a small amount each morning, the colder weather seems to make them eat more anyway Quote Link to post
