Please confirm that you are 18 years of age or older:

1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
My dad used to go ferreting so part raw has always been part of ferrets for me
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.
Need assistance with amounts and just making sure they get what they need ,whole pray is ok and fully raw
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
Health reasons they have already started on raw diet
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?
Yes
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?
6 names are buster ,val , ice, shadow, dexter and lucky ,buster and val are ment to be 11 weeks but more like 14 ish I think ,the others are 9 weeks , 3 boys and 3 girls the younger 4 where are under weight , had lucky 6 days the rest 4 days .
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc) Do they already eat some form of soup?
They are eting raw chucks/ mince plus some bone in meat
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
Switched as soon as they came all eating raw fine
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share? We are mad here 4 kids 1 oh 2 dogs 2 cats my african gray Kenny (he is my number 1 baby lol ) also my oh has some big old spiders :/ not my favourite lol we have some garden chickens and a pond , I also help with horses but don't own any yet
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
Everyday we have 2 pcs plus tablet
10. Please post a picture of each of your ferrets (if possible).
