1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
Browsing on the internet
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.
Fully natural.
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
One of my girls has adrenal (desi implanted) and her sister is in seemingly good health right now. My adrenal girl is very skinny, both are always itchy and at their age (4) are slowing down and had low bg readings at our vet appointment. I want to help let them live the best life possible with the best diet possible.
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, absolutely, which is why I waited until I had the time to fully commit.
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?
Two 4 y/o female ferrets: Vegas is 1 ¼ lbs., Snoopy is 1 ¾ lbs. I’ve had them since they were 3 months old. Vegas is adrenal/probable insulinomas and was given a desi implant 6 months ago.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc)
Wysong Ferret Epigen 90, Freeze dried Archetype, Beechnut chicken/broth, pumpkin as needed, olive oil 2x week.
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
No, without proper guidance I am worried I wouldn't meet their nutritional needs.
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
I love them dearly and want to provide the best for them! ☺
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).

11. Have you met the requirements for this program? Do you have your scale, a place to access meats, hearts, livers, etc?
Yes scale, In contact with a local farm. They have beef heart, whole chickens, rabbits, and goat meat.
