Ox Hearts Or Pig Hearts

[ferret1988 20]

As the title states which do people prefer to chop up for the ferrets?

Bull's hearts might prove a bit more of a challenge but whole should be fine... was with mine

[ferret1988 20]

my mate chop them up and mix them with chicken mince just I came across a butcher that gets boxes of pigs hearts for same price as the ox hearts and just wonder which people thought were better or if there's any difference at all?

 

Cheers

I've fed mine pork plenty of times and they've been fine, never had any issues except that not all of my ferrets will eat it, they prefer other meats and even fish.

Mine get pigs kidneys every couple of weeks with no ill effects.

 

It's probably the same as everything else... Feed in moderation and it'll be fine.

 

It's a shame really as I can get a pig pluck for less than it costs me to shoot a couple of bunnies!

I think the biggest problem with pork is the salt in processed stuff like gammon and bacon etc or pork from supermarkets which is full of water and salt.

 

I've fed my dogs and ferrets loads of fresh pork when I used to get half pigs and they have all been fine.

 

As for hearts I chuck a whole beef heart in every now and then and the ferrets love it.

Hearts are ok now and then but wouldn't give too often ?
