1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
Ferret World
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'm not really sure, whatever they will eat, but at this moment not too comfortable feeding frozen prey and can't feed live prey.
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
My dogs have been on a natural diet for about three years now and i know the wonderful benefits of the diet.
4. Do you understand that switching your ferret to a natural diet can be a lengthy, arduous process? Its not an overnight switch. It can be a commitment of several weeks or even months. Your HF Mentor will be more then happy to assist you in switchng your ferret(s) to a natural diet, but you need to be equally as commited. If you aren't willing to tough out a potentially lengthy switching process, or if you have major life changes approaching (baby on the way, moving, starting school, getting married/divorced, etc) then it might be a better idea to wait on switching your ferret's diet until you have more time. Are you willing to make the commitment?
Yes
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 currently have 2 ferrets one male his name is Snickers he is 10 months old and weighs 2.79 lbs I also have a female her name is Ellie not too sure of her age as i rescued her from the humane society but my vet put her at the same age as Snickers 10 months give or take a few months. They both cough but my vet says everything is Okay, so I'm assuming it's from the dust where my vacuum does not reach.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc)
Snickers and Ellie both eat extrusion (kibble made for ferrets) i know it's garbage but we are limited where i live. they also get ferretvite and ferret lax which i just heard is not good for them so going to try the pumpkin.Ellie also likes the marshall's brand bandits
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
Yes i gave them diced up chicken and they quickly turned up their noses left in cage for awhile and nothing.
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
I am a stay at home mom with three boys, three dogs and three cats. I used to have a pair of ferrets about 13 years ago knew nothing about them like I do now and I am still learning and finding new things about them everyday
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
daily
10. Please post a picture of each of your ferrets (if possible).
