All new & exciting!

Hello to All

Having been searching the web for Ferret info, I found this forum, which appealed to me hoping to make the best environment for our new fella!


I/we are 1st time Ferret owners, rehomed a lil'guy 3 days ago.
He was with a young lady, who clearly had lost interest...and maybe the smell was what tipped the balance!?

He appeared, what I can only say was 'shut down'...very lethargic, just slept, not eating a great deal.
Came with 2 storey cage, bedding, bowls etc...and a bag of Purina Cat food (straight in the garbage!!)

Introduced him to some chicken 'soup'...

The aim now being Raw...and I'm sorry but I will be asking LOTS of questions that may have already been asked!
but even at day 3, he has perked up and he actually chased a ball and stashed his new toys!

Let the fun & games begin!

hi and welcome. we're glad you found us. good job ditching the cat chow. i once adopted a 2 y o who lived on that and he was diagnosed with insulinoma 2 days after his second birthday. it's crap for ferrets

Hello, hope you’re able to find out what you need. Sounds like you’re starting out well.

Thankyou..
I opened the bag of cat food and the stench blew my socks off!

I had already read up on the Raw links here and am lucky enough to live in an area where LOTs of people raise there own meat, so am going to be sourcing some great feed!!
