stealthy1 3,964 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 If I feed rabbit it chop it into four, if I feed dry I don't leave it in a bowl I spread it out, that way all the ferrets get a chance, and the and the top ferret can't block the others out, I found with the rescues that the hob just keeps eating until its gone, and won't let the jill near the food, now I spread it about the hob can't monopolise food for himself, and now he seems to be losing weight, good thing really, because he's chunky little git.

The one 8,479 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Ive got 6 in each hutch and i just put in a rabbit a day and they help themselves and i wouldn't say any of mine are under or overweight Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 with 13 in the court, I tend to feed a single rabbit one day, then two the next day, then one, then two and so forth, if dry food is given, its in two large cassarole dishes, so they all get a fair share Quote Link to post
TARA G 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 At the moment I only have 2 ferrets but their bowl is filled each day unless they haven t eaten it all and then it s refilled when empty but if they have rabbit, I just put the one in and that lasts them 3 days.

Funfuret 1 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I've got one real bruiser who bolts his meat and then tries to steal the other ferrets' meat. I take him out for a short while so the others can eat in peace. There's always biscuits available so he doesn't starve Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,175 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 yes its a problem brimmer, i have 9 in my court. 2 of wich are small hobs from last year, but boy are they fat, the jills that i tend to work the most ore nice and lean, but not skinny. i tend to feed 1 rabbit a day for this many, although i will somtimes put a hare in , and leave it 3 days. and also somtimes go a day without food Quote Link to post
