What do ferrets eat?

0

Ferrets are obligate carnivores, meaning they are designed to eat whole prey items, which includes all parts of the killed animal including the fur/feathers and bones. Feeding a raw meat diet has a whole load of issues associated with it, and we do not have enough knowledge to comment on this. You are best to look into this based on your own personal circumstances elsewhere on the web. Suffice to say, you can not just feed it a breast of chicken every day, and expect to have a healthy loving ferret. The natural diet of a Ferret would include smaller mammals and reptiles like Rats, Rabbits, Voles, Mice, Slugs, snails, frogs and lizards. They would also eat birds if they could get them. Ferrets imprint very early in their lives on the foods they will and will not eat, so changing the diet of a ferret can be a long slow process. Most are fed on dried food for convenience, but even these foods vary immensely between the manufactures, so always check what yours was fed on before you pick it
