MikeTheDog 153 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi FK,.....Feed proper meat. rabbit and the like but try feeding late when it's cool and less flys about. As you put fresh food in take the old stuff out, it will be mainly skin 'n bone but still attracts fly's/maggots. Keep an eye on your wee charges and also feed them during the day when they need it but keep the portions small to reduce the fly problem. Afew maggots won't bother the ferrets, just don't let the meat go sour ..Got any pictures of your kits? Quote Link to post
