iv had the ferrets on a dry mix food ever since iv had them i tried them on a freshly shot pigeon breast at the weekend but they just sniffed at it and went back to sleep ?? is this because iv had them on a dry diet since they were young

Wild ferrets stay with their mother for 3-4 months, in that time she learns her kits what to eat by introducing them to it. It is said that they won't eat anything other than what they get to taste in the first few months.

As with the wild motherferret, our tame ferrets will learn what is safe to eat from the first 3-4 months with us. Therefor it is important to serve different kind of food to the kits.

 

Everyone knows how stubbern ferrets can be, so it can be a battle to make an older ferret learn to eat new food, if it has been eating the same for a couple of years.

It can be done, but it takes time, and some refuse to eat new things.
