1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
I was a HFF stalker for a while before I joined so you guys get full credit
2. Please describe the type of diet you would like assistance in switching your ferret(s) to.
Freeze dried raw with some raw but no live/whole pray. Main food sources should be freeze dried. (Ive picked some up and am waiting on a sample pack from casey's hidden pantry)
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
I see nothing but benefits
4. Do you understand that switching your ferret to a natural diet can be a lengthy, arduous process? Its not an overnight switch. It can be a commitment of several weeks or even months. Your HF Mentor will be more then happy to assist you in switchng your ferret(s) to a natural diet, but you need to be equally as commited. If you aren't willing to tough out a potentially lengthy switching process, or if you have major life changes approaching (baby on the way, moving, starting school, getting married/divorced, etc) then it might be a better idea to wait on switching your ferret's diet until you have more time. Are you willing to make the commitment?
Commitment made
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?
1 Male, Neutered, Marshall's. 6 months old tomorrow. He's pretty hefty looking at 3.25 lbs. His Gotcha day is August 28th.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc)
Kibble mix of EVO, 8-1, and a third one I can't remember right now? Plus he gets chicken liver (raw) as a treat every once in a while (I ran out and haven't picked up more) He also loves EVOO and pumpkin as a small treat. Raw egg was just something to snorkle in.
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
No, just snacks.
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
I don't know... If you want to know just ask.
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
Every day, and much to often lol
10. Please post a picture of each of your ferrets (if possible).
I don't have any top-down pics but I can get some tomorrow.
