Try the freeze dried on him. Dry first (looks more like kibble) then wet it later on. My ferret actually makes his "own" rehydrated freeze dried. He takes a chunk, then he either drops it in or dunks it in his water bowl and then he carries it off and eats it. as you can imagine, I have to change his water out at least 3-4 times a day. If I were you, I'd remove the kibble completely during the day at least and leave either freeze dried or raw soupies out during the day. he's young enough so think he should eat what you put out for him once that hunger kicks in. he looks like a fatty meathead ferret so I'm sure he's got a good appetite.

I don't know- he looks like a "Bambam" to me ;D Since he obviously enjoys water, Cliff suggested may "Poseidon"?

yeah i think "Moose" is a good name for a large ferret. i was going to name my giant ferret Moose because he was so huge but ended up naming him "Aleister" (after Aleister Crowly -old song by ozzy osborne)

"Tubbo"? "Roly" (as in Roly-Poly) "Frito Corleone"? (we named our ferret Santino -"Sonny" for short-- after Sonny Corleone from the Godfather because he has a bit of an attitude sometimes--he's a hothead)

maybe, Poseidon? , i was thinking about that, but it seemed too long but i could call him po! this morning when i was playing with him i was just calling him random names, and out popped punk. i think he may become a punky! he's surprisingly good with the litter box he's such a good boy i took more pictures, so you can see how big he is. i just have to upload them! ;D

i bought the little guy home with my mom and my best friend, and it turned out good. i thought my dad would freak out, because like the day before i asked if i could get a ferret i saw from kijiji and he said no.
but it turned out he didn't freak. he was "disappointed". but now he's being really annoying with punky, he wants to call him festus, like off of seinfield, festus for the rest of us. ii MUCH prefer punky ;D

Awww so cute!! Don't think he's a cinnamon though, he looks like a black roan mitt or a black mitt from the pics! And yes, they are getting bigger, I've seen it myself at the pet store here. For example, this big guy here: The girl on the right was an average size fert, but he was the biggest I'd seen before I got my first breeder ferret.

Oh, and I love the name Punky! You should totally name him that.

he looks way darker in those photo's because it's night and i had to use the flash, so they're not that great at the colour.

Hmmm :/ I like the other names suggested much better than Punky. Personally. I like Poseidon - you could call him Po for short! Cronos! haha I like the name Cricket...
