Loki sounds wonderful. Five months makes him a Tummy with Teeth. He can eat alot.
Most of us use a photo sharing site like photobucket. It's free and easy to use.
I'm not super tech savv, so I'll link this thread that tells you how.
If you need help, just tag me and I'll try to help or find someone who can.
Tagging is easy. Hover your cursor over the username (they are not always spelled like we seem them)
Then put the @sign in front. If you've done it correctly, it will show up in bold once you post.

Honestly, Purina kitten chow is not the best food for him. A ferret is a carnivore. Their body is not designed to process fruits/grains/veggies or carbs. They won't thrive on it and later in life, it catches up to them and can lead to diseases like Insulinoma.
Your new here and I love that you are having so much fun with Loki. When you get a few minutes, look under the Natural Diet section on the home page. Do a little reading and when you are ready, we can help you find a better diet for him.
Here are the ingredients of Purina kitten chow:
Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Gluten Meal, Brewers Rice, Soy Flour, Animal Fat Preserved With Mixed-Tocopherols (Form of Vitamin E), Wheat Flour, Fish Meal, Animal Liver Flavor, Dried Yeast, Turkey By-Product Meal, Calcium Carbonate, Phosphoric Acid, Salt, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Potassium Chloride, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Manganese Sulfate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Red 40, Copper Sulfate, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin B-12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Vitamin D-3 Supplement, Calcium Iodate, Biotin, Menadione Sodium Bisulfate Complex (Source of Vitamin K Activity), Sodium Selenite.
See how the first ingredient is a chicken by product meal. That's not even pure protein, which they need. Then you get Corn gluten, rice, wheat flour, all of which Loki can't digest and receive nutrients from. You've got three forms of salt in there, that's not good.
So please understand that we only want what's best for Loki. The Forum is holistic in nature. Most of us have made our mistakes and we want to pass along what we have learned to new ferrents. We want your Loki and all the other ferrets to have a long, happy and healthy life.
Don't hesitate to ask questions. You're off to a great start and Loki is lucky to have you.
