alright thank god, i thought one or both of them may have had a respitory infection i was so nervous. Also i know they are both new but when do new ferrets tend to calm down and sleep together? i dont want them to be housed together yet, because i dont want benji getting beat up on all night, plus i want to leave some raw chicken breast in there with him to maybe nibble on.
Also i have a good feeling he is deaf, he is very vocal, not screaming but he makes a lot more sounds then bonbon ever did.

So both of my boys are ravanious for their food. I haven't changed anything, do I need to feed them, more in the winter time? Each ferret is eating 5oz. 2.5 for an am and pm meal.

I do feed them....I was more or less curious if ferrets eat more in the winter time. I'll feed them if they want more food no problem

What I was trying to say is to feed them until they are satisfied at each meal even though they seemed to be contented with the ounces of meals you had given them back when. Never thought you did not feed them. I guess i zeroed in on a different part of message. do I need to feed them, more in the winter time? do I need to feed them, more in the winter time?

I have a question have your ferrets ever gotten so excited after eating that they spit up a little due to playing with another ferret??? Benji just spit up a little. Like 5 drops of a light yellow substance, he was eating his raw egg for breakfast. I just want to make sure he's okay.

Hi he will be fine it can sometimes happen due to excitement how old are your babies ? the reason I am asking is I notice you said how much do I feed them with youngsters under one year old its as much as they can eat lol ( normally split into three or four meals ) and yes as others have stated they eat more during winter to build up a store of body fat to keep them warm they also sleep more in winter hope this helps Bev

Bonbon is 6 months Benji is 4 months. Thanks for the reply. They have been eating roughly 5-6oz each a day.
