1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
I learned about it while researching proper nutrition for ferrets. I was not satisfied with the ingredients in commercial kibbles. A Google search lead me here.
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 am interested in fully raw.
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
It seems to be the healthiest and obvious choice to provide my little one the best chance in life.
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, willing to take time with this. I'm already busy with getting my toddler to eat. What's one more baby?
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?
One Ferret. Beatrix. 10 weeks and 6 days old. No health issues known. Not over or under. We've had her for 24 hours now as of 6/7/14.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc) Do they already eat some form of soup?
She is currently eating Original ZuPreem. She was on Marshall's in store. No supplements or treats yet. No soup.
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
No, not yet.
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
She's new to the family and still very shy. We're hoping as the stress lessens she'll be more open to a new diet.
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
Everyday.
