1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
This forum
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 feeding frankenprey diet.
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
My ferret is everything to me and I want her to live for as long as possible and healthy as 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 requires a commitment of several months at minimum. Your HF Mentor will be more then happy to assist you in switching your ferret(s) to a natural diet, but you need to be equally as committed. The switch takes time and effort every single day. It can also be extremely frustrating at times. If you aren't willing to tough out a potentially lengthy switching process, you have major life changes approaching (baby on the way, moving, starting school, getting married/divorced, etc), or limited time due to work, then it might be a better idea to wait on switching your ferret's diet until you have more time. Are you willing and realistically able to make the neccessary time commitment?
I am completely up to the task. I am a stay at home ferrent. I have no kids. She is my one and only that I take care of. I will be moving in a couple months but honestly I am organized and the time it will take to feed her will be the same as kibble so that wont be a problem.
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 1 ferret. Her name is Shelby. Shes 3-4 months. Female. No I took her to the vet for a check up and shes healthy. I have had her for a week and a half.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc) Do they already eat some form of soup?
I feed her kibble. Triple H farms is the only food the pet store had. I also have fed her the 8 in 1 ferret bites a couple times. I tried feeding her an egg yolk that was a success.
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
No
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
My husband bought Shelby for me because he is gone most of the month and I definitely get lonely and my anxiety about everything is so bad. So he bought her for me. She is my everything. Since I don't work her and I spend the whole day together.
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
Every day of the week. And if I am out doing errands I have my phone on me that I can look on the forum as well.
10. Please post a picture of each of your ferrets (if possible).
