OK everyone - I need help with the visual on this one please so forgive
me if I sound ignorant.  And if you prefer to email me directly to spare
FML'ers of the details, I'm fine with that ....
 
I'm trying to picture just how exactly "live prey" is given to ferrets
who are used to eating it - do you just put the prey in their cage and
the ferret goes after it?
 
I doubt I'm going to ever be able to 'convert' my Snowball from kibble to
live prey (or anything else but kibble at this late stage in his life)
but I'm still interested in knowing just how one goes about the feeding
process nonetheless.
 
I guess I'm mostly concerned about the live prey attacking or biting a
docile ferret (such as an older ferret) who may not have the 'natual
hunting instincts' in him/her.  My Snowball is about 7 1/4 yrs. old and
very passive so I just can't imagine him getting excited about this.
In fact, I think it would scare him to an early death quite honestly.
 
So if any of you out there who are live prey / raw "natural" food feeders
would be interested in sharing your experiences and procedures with me,
I'd be happy to receive your emails.
 
THANKS,
Jennifer and Snowball, the 'new' dynamic duo  :-)
