Once a day.

"variety is the spice of life "

 

Rabbit heads some may ask why,well the reason is when the ferret gets the rabbit in the burrow or warren,you will find it will only latch on to its head and do no damage to the rest of your bunny

Not being funny mate, but ferrets are lactose intolerant and shouldn't be fed milk, unless it's lactose free milk of course.

Ferrets shouldn't have any dairy at all.

 

Lactose will give them diarrhoea and this can be life threatening for ferrets due to its dehydration effect.

 

I have heard about ferrets being given whipping cream to help them gain weight after an illness or surgery. Note: This is 'WHIPPING' cream NOT 'WHIPPED' cream.

It has a very low level of lactose, but you still have to watch how they react to it and not give them too much.

Haggis,just chuck them in alive.They do a fair bit of screaming so best to wait till the neighbours are out.

We don't get many haggis down here, if we do they are captive bred and only for showing. Feed mine on rabbit, and dry when there are no bunnie's in the freezer.

Haggis are elusive scottish creatures.

According to some sources, the wild haggis's left legs are of different length than its right legs, allowing it to run quickly around the steep mountains and hillsides, but only in one direction.

It is further claimed that there are two varieties of haggis, one with longer left legs and the other with longer right legs.

The former variety can run clockwise around a mountain while the latter can run anticlockwise.

The two varieties coexist peacefully but are unable to interbreed in the wild because in order for the male of one variety to mate with a female of the other, he must turn to face in the same direction as his intended mate, causing him to lose his balance before he can mount her.

As a result of this difficulty, differences in leg length among the Haggis population are accentuated.

 

You can tell them at a distance because they croopy sideways when they sit down.
