Is it true...

[Guest Mass_G3nocide]

Is it true that if you give your ferrets plenty of milk mixed with sugar that when or if they bite a rabbit down a hole they will let go??? As apparently it will taste funny

 

Or is it just another tale.

no its not true what will happen if you give your ferret plentyof milk and sugar is that your ferret will be dead .... ferrets are lactose intolerant which means their digestive sytem cannot cope with lactose which is in milk ... there is nothing you can do to stop a ferret biting a rabbit and come to think of it why would you ??????????

I seriously doubt it would work, and milk and sugar is about the worst thing you can give your ferrets, so really... please don't!

Whoever told you that is trying to make your ferrets ill mate. I know a few boys who feed bread and milk, their ferrets always got the sh*ts, cant tell them though. Dont deserve to keep a gold fish.

I have noticed that ferrets fed exclusively on dry feed, or in the bad old days on bread and milk, have less interest in eating whole rabbit, so possibly that is where this notion sprung. They will however, kill it very dead very quickly, if they catch it, just the same. The two ferrets I have just now are only getting to the point where they'll happily eat rabbit, after being raised on James Welbeloved. When I was younger, and I used to get about more, shooting rabbits with a moderated .22 rimfire, my ferrets were fed rabbit, or birds, and I feel they were worse for laying up. Then the individual ferret's personality and traits might have been different. Food for thought though. As mentioned earlier though, ferrets love milk, it gives them the trots, so is a no no.

Thank you all for your advice i will not be giving them Milk. Some people just feel as if they have to contribute to something they know nothing about.

Why not go to your local library or pet shop and read a book that tells you how to feed a ferret?

Or look on this site for feeding tips etc.
