Hi there!
I own 3 amazing ferret furballs.
My very first sable ferret Tuki came to me when I was a teenager, but unfortunately I did not had her long time. My mom gave her away after several months as she made burrow under her hous plant and mom did not like that. I was really mad at her. Then I made myself a promise that one day I will have my own ferret(s) again. So few decades later I do!
My first chocolate girl Smokey came to us in July 2015th. She was 2 months old and won our hearts right away. Then few months later one breeder was forced (because her serious health issues) to give her ferrets into new homes. So I called her and asked one what I really liked. She said that she will keep her anyway at least to the spring and will mate her, but if I am still interested I could have some hobs. But I can´t take hobs into appartement, my hubby will kick us out, because of smell But one day when I do have my own house, I will have some hobs as well, but in outside yard. Until then, only females are allowed. But few months later I heard that she could not keep her anyway, so if I am interested I could have her, but she have another one too. And she prefers if they both go into same home. The one I was interested in was sable mitt jill Käpik but to get her I had to take albino jill Gaia as well. To be honest I didn´t like albinos at all. They seemed me a bit weird. So I thought why not and will see what happend.
So in the end of November I went after Käpik and Gaia and brought them home to my chocolate girl Smokey. Long story short it took me almost 3 weeks to mingle Käpik and Smokey. Käpik is almost 4 years old and Gaia was bit over 2 year. Gaia and Smokey got along just fine but Käpik and Smokey not so well. But Gaias temper is a bit wild one, but I just fell in love her. She is so cute, she invites me for play and actually she is so sweet, only she can´t help her from biting. But she listens me when I say her NO BITING, she will release her teeth right away.
As Smokey was on raw diet I just did not want to mess with kibbles as I know that they are not healthy at all and how they are made... So NONONO for kibbles. When Käpik and Gaia came they were use to eat kibbles but I did not had any at home so they got raw food. As they were quite hungry and underweight they took whatever I gave them and they was fighting a lot over the food. I never saw that. Käpik was 880 g when she came and now 2 mohts later she gained 462 g (1342g). She is beautiful. Gaia was not bad, she was 1271 g now she is 1460 g. These two jills are naturally big ones. Smokey is naturally small one and she weighs 1032 g.
So, this is my story and I want to make sure that all my ferrets will get nutrient rich raw food and pray with all the minerals and vitamins and have healthy long life with me. So I am open to mentors and suggestion how to feed them best.
