Hello!

[Deleted]

Hello, I got a ferret a few weeks ago. He is a silver mitt named Bode, and is a year old.

I've been unable to find a kibble I was happy with. At all. He's currently eating 8-in-1 ultimate (what he was eating at his last home) mixed with blue buffalo wilderness for cats. He likes his kibble...but I worry about his health. I want to have him around for a long time, preferably without icky things like Insulonoma. So, I am looking into either a whole prey or partially whole prey diet for him.

Aside from him, I have 27 other critters, and I try to give them the best things that I can. I've been exploring grain free foods and trying to get my parents to switch the cats and dog to grain free. The other animals I have eat the best stuff I can find for them and corn is banned in my house. (well..except the cats and dog.. I don't actually know what my parents are feeding them, which is mostly my doing since I don't know if I WANT to know. Trying to get them to feed grain free though.) I do feed grain to my rodents. (rats, mice) But, they don't get corn either. Corn is, as far as I am concerned, the devil in terms of pet food.

So, hello! :3

Hi and welcome to the forum
Please feel free to prowl the forum check out the various sections. You may want to start your research in our nutritional section. Read through the threads, ask questions, get involved. There are no stupid questions and everyone's friendly...they do love photos. So...you've been warned They have a tendency to get a bit rowdy...you're lucky though, we've had a number of new members in the last few days so they may not notice right away if you don't post pictures....but don't count on it ;D ;D
ciao

Don't count on it Heather.... Nice try though.

Welcome to the forum...

Pictures...Now! Please?

I have-

2 cats
1 dog
1 ferret
1 bird (European Starling)
1 snake (Sand boa)
5 mice
4 rats (one is almost 3 years old )
1 horse
1 frog (chorus frog)
and 11 chickens.

...my life is busy. LOL. I just switched to online school though so I have a ton of time, and that's why I had time for a ferret. He's a traveler ferret, goes everywhere with me. I think he thinks he is a lap dog...which is fine by me.

Bode now has his own picture thread. :3

Hi and welcome and Yoss is right- we all need our pic fixes- of ALL your fur/feather/reptile kids ;D

Oh gosh, I may have to tackle THAT in the morning. Not a small job, gathering all of the pictures together.

I'll try to get some up soon. I don't even HAVE decent pictures of all of the chickens, they hate to sit still, and now that it's spring the roosters are really ornery and nasty. I got in a fight with one yesterday, he attacked me without fail for ten minutes before getting tired of crashing into my foot. Maybe I can take some new shots of them tomorrow. (assuming a rooster doesn't eat my phone, haha)

Hello. Nice to see someone else with a zoo like ours. In fact your Bode and our Jeremy look a lot alike.

Chicken can be hard as they are scurrying somewhere. ;D

Used to irritate the heck out of my dad when i was very young. I'd rock the chickens to sleep, and line 'em all up in a row before the first started waking up again
