I have a happy report for my 2 newest kids. Sable a brown/butterscotch and
rascal a cream/black panda/mitt both 1 & 1/2 year old are on the mend and
ready for adoption. When I got them 39 days ago they looked near death.
The owners had been feeding them hamster feed. I have never seen thinner
ferrets. Rascal has gained 17 ounces in a month! He is the longest I have
ever seen at 29 & 1/2" from nose to tip of tail. Sable gained 6 ounces and
is one of the smallest at 20 & 1/4". I use iams kitten, purina kitten,
science diet kitten, and totally ferret in my blend. Using this blend i
have yet to have to force feed, or have a healthy ferret turn his nose to
it. I have found high fat content is just as important as protein. REN's
shelter is in Abilene Texas and the only place to get a ferret for 120
miles in any direction. Thus we only get about 4 to 8 a year. I am on the
ferret lovers of texas shelter list.
