Hi my name is Blaire.
1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
We have always fed our ferrets meat as their natural instincts is to hunt rabbits and other small animals so we put two and two together.
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 woul like to give them a complete raw diet and would be happy to give them whole pray (just not rabbit as I do have pet rabbits too and it would upset me too much)
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
I want to be sure they are as healthy as they can be.
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. Although my ferrets already eat pretty much a full raw diet I just want to be sure they are getting all the nutrients they need
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 4.
Fidget; roughly 4-5 months, male, no teeth or weight problems (that I am aware of) had him for about 2 months (since he was 8-9 weeks old)
Timone and pumba; sisters of fidget, 4-5 months, female, no teeth or weight problems had them about 2 months.
Big boy; he is roughly 3 years, male, no teeth or weight problems that I am aware of, had him about 6 months.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc)
Mainly chicken necks, but they do get some red meat with fat on it.
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
They pretty much are on raw but I just want a diet plan to be sure all needs are met
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
We are quite tight with money at the moment but I do have plenty of time on my hands for now.
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).
I'm on my phone at the moment so will have to post photos in the photos folder
