a: I have 2 ferrets
1. Kahlua (she is 8 months old approx, they didn't give me full information at pet store) No health problems . as far as I know (visit the vet 2 months ago) She was underweight (500 gr)when we got her, also she was . the little of the runt, so she is not too big. We've got her 2 months ago, She grow a little in size 1/3 of her . size but she put on a lot of muscle and some fat, her coat became very shinny also. We feed her kibble for 2 . weeks only, then we switch her to a mix of 1tsp of uncle Kim's duk soup mix, 1tbs of gerber chicken baby . food and 1/2 tsp of dry liver and 1/2 tsp of coconut oil. 700 gr now 16" in length.
2. Bronson (male, he is 3 months old) no health problems as pet store health Cert mentions. We haven't . brought him to the vet yet, He was really small and skinny (380 gr approx) 9" long. We've got him 1 month . ago, he grew twice his size, put on some weight, not much muscle, also his coat became shinier. He . has been under the same diet as Kahlua. 665 gr now, 14" long.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc) Do they already eat some form of soup?
A:unfortunately Kahlua had diarrhea for a couple of days under our last diet so my husdband went back to kibble, which she doesn't seem want to leave. Since Wednesday I try to give the Hff soup to Bronson and he is eating since, and a lot, I have no idea if is bec he is growing or what, but he seems to be more calm and chweing things less.
As treats we give them N bones and bandits morsels, ferret lax (once) furo vite and coconut oil as I mentioned before.
