i got the bargain of the century today. I went to a bank holiday market today and the was a butchers van and they were selling lots of meat at cheap prices and they said 8 chickens of £5 and I jumped at it, while I was paying I asked if they sold any scraps, he asked why with a strange look on his face, I said for ferrets. He said he wouldn't sell it, I could have it. He gave me 3 of the biggest bags of chicken and pork. He said I was doing him a favour. so with a frezzer full of pigeons, rabbits, rats, mice, pheasant,duck, chicks and now 8 chickens and loads of scraps I'm happy and more importantly the ferrets are

Excellent! Sadly, they aren't that friendly about giving scraps here in the US.. not only will most butchers not sell it to you, but they also won't give it away free either, because it can "harm" their jobs.

I had seen the name of it here on forum but it has been so long ago I have forgotten what it is called. I thought I would try it out on my ferrets. He too gave me that inquisitive look---- because I only wanted one:)) He wrapped it up and wrote "kitten" on it. When I went to check out, it was free. Sadly, the ferrets did not go for it. So are your pheasants whole(not gutted)? The only way I can get them here locally is wait until the fall holidays and then they are cleaned.
