Hi all!!!
I just switched my fuzzie to Stella & Chewy and he loves it, but I'm not sure if I'm feeding him enough or how many times a day I should feed him. Any suggestions??
Thank you

I feed twice a day, morning meal and an evening meal (for healthy ferrets). How much depends on how old your ferret is, their gender and the current season.
I make a whole patty per ferret, some days some will want more in a meal, some days one will eat less in a meal and more again the next meal. Can't give an estimate really using the nibbles/mixers.
A good way to figure out how much to feed in general is to make sure by the next meal time there is still at least a bite or two left. If a bowl is clean, they might not have gotten enough.

Ok thank you I usually feed him morning and night. He's still a baby he's only 6 months. Lol that bowl is always empty and I add water to it.

At 6 months, he should still be packing a good bit away, and just beginning to slow down consumption. Feed him as much as he will eat.

Great thank you. He's packed on a good amount of weight since we've had him. He's fat butt can't manover tight spaces anymore

He'll end up dropping his baby fat and start eating the average adult food amounts you see on here once he's older. For now, all the food he is eating is still helping to fuel his growing process into a strong little ferret, so let him have his fill of it.
