1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
Whilst doing my masses of ferret research!
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'd like to have them on a frankenprey diet. i don't have a reliable source for whole prey yet but i'm looking into it.
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
It's what they'd eat in the wild so to speak and sooo much more healthier too!
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?
ABSOLUTLEY! I want my babies to be happy and healthy
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?
Currently we have 2 (Although with ferret maths i can see that changing soon )
Pepsi, 16 weeks, male hob, no health problems as yet, Weighing tomorrow once ive bought a new scale (Just found mine doesnt work!), owned for 4 days now.
EDIT- weight 2lb 14oz
Furzy, 14 weeks, male hob, no health problems as yet, weighing tomorrow, owned for 4 days now.
EDIT- weight 2lb 4oz
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc) Do they already eat some form of soup?
Currently on soup recipe in chunky form no water added. Plenty of fresh water available in water bowl.
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
this is first time
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
Work From Home Mum to 3 children aged 13, 7 & 4. Pepsi is full of energy and always on the go and very playful during his waking hours. Furzy doesnt seem to have as much energy as Pepsi does but enjoys a good play both with us humans and Pepsi.
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
24/7
10. Please post a picture of each of your ferrets (if possible).
