My guys love dog food but, I know it has way too much fiber and not enough
fat for ferrets. Here is what I do. My guys are free roam but caged at
night. When they go to beddie bye in their cage I bring out the dog food
for the dogs. In the morning before I let the little rascals out, I put
the dog food up where they cannot get it. I leave the cage door open so
the ferts can always get to their food and I put Ferretone on their food.
They will eat it with Ferrettone. Now don't let the little rascal guilt
you into letting him eat the dog food. I would also be worried about
fighting the dog for food. My dogs will nip hard if anyone approaches
their food and that could be dangerous to a fert.
I hope that helps.
