1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
I actually was informed by my husband
2. Please describe the type of diet you would like assistance in switching your ferret(s) to. Be sure to include if you are interested in feeding whole prey (live or frozen-thawed) and if you are wanting to FULLY switch to a natural diet or PARTIALLY. If you are unsure what kind of diet you want to put your ferrets on, please express that and we can help you find the best type of natural diet for your ferret.
I would like to feed entirely raw and or whole prey. As natural as possible.i am concerned feeding live but I am willing to try it!
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
Because it is the best possible diet they can have and I want my boys to live a long happy HEALTHY life!
4. Do you understand that switching your ferret to a natural diet can be a lengthy, arduous process? Its not an overnight switch. It requires a commitment of several months at minimum. Your HF Mentor will be more then happy to assist you in switching your ferret(s) to a natural diet, but you need to be equally as committed. The switch takes time and effort every single day. It can also be extremely frustrating at times. If you aren't willing to tough out a potentially lengthy switching process, you have major life changes approaching (baby on the way, moving, starting school, getting married/divorced, etc), or limited time due to work, then it might be a better idea to wait on switching your ferret's diet until you have more time. Are you willing and realistically able to make the neccessary time commitment?
Absolutely
5. How many ferrets do you currently have? What are their names? Ages? Genders? Do they have any health problems? Are they overweight? Underweight? How long have you had each ferret for?
I have two ferrets . One is Kyuubi and the other is Bubba. They are about 2 years old.Male toddlers lol.As far as I know they are not underweight but I would like them a bit more chunky.No health issues.I have had them since they were 6 weeks old.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc) Do they already eat some form of soup? Right now on ground up meats and wellness core at night until they are ready.
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?Yes they took well to chicken slivers and liver well. I had my daughter I had little time to continue.
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share? I have a Two year old daughter and a husband. We live in NC. Ferrets have always been our passion.
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?I do not own a computer atm. I do have a phone with internet access.
10. Please post a picture of each of your ferrets (if possible).
