Please confirm that you are 18 years of age or older:
Born 1997.
1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
Researching best diet for my ferret on Google.
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 want to fully switch to a raw diet, I dont think I am interested in feeding whole prey right now, but would love to discuss it more!
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
For my ferrets health and well being.
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?
I am willing to make the necessary time commitment for my ferrets health, I know it is well worth it.
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?
I have one male ferret, named Negan. The shelter staff estimated him to be 2 years old. I adopted him a week ago, he is at a healthy weight. I just found out he has ear mites ealier today at the vet and he is getting treated for it.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc) Do they already eat some form of soup?
He eats Kaytee brand ferret diet with real chicken and that is all he eats. I have tried giving him freeze dried chicken liver as a treat, but he does not eat it.
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
I have not.
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
My family dog (who lives with my mother) is raw fed so I 100% believe in the benefits and that its the right thing to do!
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
I always have access to my computer.
10. Please post a picture of each of your ferrets (if possible).

11. Do you have a scale sufficient to measure soup ingredients AND to regularly weigh your ferrets?
Yes.
12. Have you met the requirements for this program? Are you at least 18 years of age? Do you have your scale, a place to access meats, hearts, livers, etc?
Yes, I have quite a few butchers I can go to!
