I bought Carnivore Care for my sick ferret last week who sadly passed away. I now have almost an entire bag left. Some is refrigerated because it says it was good for only 7 days and the rest I put in the freezer. Is it good to use for my other 4 healthy ferrets? How much do I give them compared to their regular food? Will it cause stomach upset if their eating CC just as a supplement?

I just don't know enough about the product. It's a good product so I would think you could use it as a supplement until the bag is finished but I would only do it once or twice a week. If the others are eating well, then they shouldn't need it. What are they currently eating? I'll tag a few senior members for you... Sherry Heather Jeremy's Boggle crazyladywhat do you all think? |

Carnivore care is primarily an egg protein product. I have some I keep in the freezer in case of emergencies.
Even in emergencies I have not had to use it, My sick ferrets seem to prefer my homemade soup over the carnivore care.
Where Carnivore Care really shines is if you have to syringe force feed since it is smooth and does not have chunks in it. Makes syringe feeding a breeze.

I would either put it in the freezer, or donate it to the closest shelter.

I put my bags in the freezer as soon as I open them. If I have someone picky about eating for more than 1 meal in a row, I add a bit of CC into their food so that even if they eat a spoonful or two of the food, at least it packs more of a punch. However, you do need to pull the food after a few hours if you mix it into it and they do not finish it. It is not okay to leave out more than a few hours- I learned, then reinforced, this knowledge the hard way. It was left out for about 5 hours, same as I normally do, and someone ate it. Then vomited it all up. And if you think it stinks when its prepared, its even worse after its been in the stomach and then puked all over the place.

You shouldn't feed this to your other ferrets. It's made for first aid purposes, keep it saved for emergencies incase one of them refuses to eat or need to put on a bunch of weight
