I won't judge you for feeding kibble.
Everyone on the forum only wants to help make your ferret healthy and happy. If I can give you any info that helps your little fellow or point you in a direction to learn more, than I'm happy.
Here is a link to a thread discussing homemade Ferretone and different oils:
holisticferret60.proboards.com/thread/4456You said that you are or were feeding a mix of raw and kibble.
You will want to separate kibble from raw. Kibble digests at a different rate than raw, and can cause upset tummies. You may already know this, but just in case you didn't, it's good to know.
The argument for kibble is that it is nutritionally correct. So, your kibble should provide Calcium thru bone. Look at your ingredients and see where it is on the ingredient list.
The downside of kibble is that it must have added fillers so that the meat will hold it's shape
Ferrets are obligate carnivores and their little bodies are not designed to process these fillers.
They can't process fruits/grains and veggies.
Not everyone wants to take on a raw diet, whole prey or even commercial grinds. So, learning more about finding a good kibble will help:
Orijen is a good quality kibble. Most kibble feeders will also incorporate another good kibble into their primary kibble. That way if there is a product recall or a product change, you have a second kibble that your finicky ferret is already use to.
Have you seen the More Dooks Kibble Chart? It provides some good info:
moredooks.herobo.com/search.php?chart=ferretWhat raw meat are you offering and how much or often do they have the raw meat?
Ferrets imprint on their food sometime around six months to a year of age. Any change in food, whether it's raw or kibble involves some persuasion to make them understand that this new food is food.
I tried to find this Sunshine Factor Oil online. Is this the product:
www.harrisonsbirdfoods.com/rc/ssf.pdfThe two ingredients are Red Fruit Palm Oil and Canola Oil. Those are vegetable based oils, and I don't see how they will help any and the product is expensive.
Omega 3's will help with itching. The best sources are eggs and fish oil. A good product is the Wild Grizzly oil. You can order that from Amazon.
Stay away from Cod Liver oil. As you know, too much vitamin A can build up in their systems.
Eggs provide Omega 3's and one egg a week, per ferret can help.
Ferrets are naturally itchy creatures. Bathing isn't necessary but if you are especially worried, you could do a collodial oatmeal bath.
Don't ever worry about anyone here judging you. This is a kind and gentle Forum. You may find that a Ferrent will offer advice or suggestions in a no nonsense manner, but all advice and suggestions come from a place meant to help you with your ferret.
