I've always fed ferrets dry food 1 because less flies in the summer and 2 to my thinking when they kill under they less likely to stay on it for a feed just a little tip

Got them on a dry cat food mate bloke who had then befor fed them on it.

Less likely to hunt at all, lol. in summer dont over feed them and you wont get fly's. I have never fed a ferret pellets and havnt lost many in over 35 years. imo there are advantages to feeding a working ferret raw food especially their prey in conjunction with other balanced food. atb

i agree wit leethedog.. fer donkeys yers ive fed dry food to me ferrets..always fit an healthy an worked proper never ad any problem with their prey drive..if you feed a ferret the same food, be it raw or dry or watever you choose,for the first few months after weanin theres a high probability they will stick to that particular food even if you offer summin else..sort of food imprintin...mine wil av a bit of liver now an then not very often tho but if i offer rabbit up they wont eat it..believe it or not lol.. which i can only see as a good thing..good luck wit yer ferets crazydave ope you an yer lad av sum good outins come winter
