|Steve Tietze |2. What type of food can I feed them? I use science diet (in the blue bag) | can i feed them cat food the meat kind? Or what have u guys found that they |like the best? We have found that Ferrets are like 3 year olds in their food preferences and the food that they like may not be what is good for them. We feed ours Purina Ferret Chow. As a treat they get raisins (they all stand up for raisins, and Little Guy will jump, from a standing position, about three inches to get a raisin) and a homemade mixture which emulates Ferretone. We mix Olive oil, molasses and lecithin in roughly equal proportions, and refrigerate it. Shake the bottle before giving them a few drops. |John Rosloot <[log in to unmask]> | [stuff removed] |Does anyone have any alternative litter suggestions? We have a piece of wire screen (1/4 inch squares) which covers the pan, providing about a 1/2 inch space below for "liquids" to accumulate. When our ferrets use the pan, the solids rest on top of the screen and the liquids pool below. Thus no "litter problems" with litter being strewn about, bald tail, etc. [Posted in FML issue 0262]
