Please confirm that you are 18 years of age or older:
I'm almost 23
1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
Before we adopted I did tons of research and decide that if I was going to have them they were going to be feed correctly and treated as I would my own kids because I want the best for them.
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.
WE want to do a basic frankenprey menu with the once a week whole prey.
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
Because it is the best thing I can do for them as their responsible ferrent.
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?

7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?

8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
