Murph 30 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 It happens to mine when they die naturally, their mates always eat them, it doesn't seem that their killing and eating each other, just that they eat another ferret once it's already dead, I find a tail and legs left behind as well. Was the one that got eaten already old/ill? Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 there isi'nt a magic cure here, surely common sense would give you the answer, rather than needing to ask others, keep the hob seperate, Quote Link to post
masmiffy 82 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Try feeding them Quote Link to post
Richie10 345 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Definately not feeding enough. Quote Link to post
diggermad 154 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 hi mate if they are eating birds /rabbits also put some dry food in to get them through the day and plenty of water cheers Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Its happened here twice both hobs as well, first one was a young male i found half eaten & the second time it was an old boy , i have no idea why they do it , food was plentyfull so i disregarded that as a possible reason, just remove the hob in question thats all you can do. Perhaps its selective culling of there own kind due to some unknown condition thats not become apparent to the keeper . Quote Link to post

Of course if a ferret kills another ferret it will probably do it again... unless you take it away from other ferrets. And not trying to suck up or anything, lol, but just because hes a moderator doesnt mean he isnt entitled to an opinion. Use your brain genius.
