Five pounds of WHAT? A ferret will eat more of a poor food than of a good
one. They have to to get the nutrients they need. A young ferret will eat
more than an old one. An active ferret will eat more than a lethargic one.
I like my ferrets to be a bit chunky, that is, to have a little fat on
them. Not too much, mind you, just enought to give a healthy appearance.
I mix my ferret's food. Four pounds each of 8in1 Ultimate, TFS Superior
Choice and IAMS Kitten. That 16 pounds probably last my three about 6
weeks.
