Ok, so i am on youtube right now looking at DIY ferret bedding and toys and just saw a video
It made me think, Would it be okay to get a tub of feeder fish from the pet store and put it out and see if the ferrets catch the fish and eat them???

in ferrets fr dummies, they say feeders are fine. although, i would just do it as a treat. too much fish can make their stool extra stinky  |

I do it, there is a video on here somewhere of Loki fishing, and Mikeybox too. Loki doesn't eat his yet, he just places them around the corner (He's not a very good stasher) One thing to remember is feeder fish & baitshop minnows are kept in deplorable conditions and generally sick and malnourished if not starving. Have a place to keep them where you can feed them and make sure they are healthy (its amazing what clean water can cure  ) and have a plan in place just in case yours don't get eaten either. My minnows were bought as feeders (a treat for my Oscar RIP) and then died of old age three years later, in the same tank with the oscar... Nothing in this house ever ate them, they must have been very personable. I have two left who I've retired from the food chain. ~Kelli |

Well, yeah I was definitely only thinking of it as a treat/ fun activity type thing. I don't even know if they would know what to do with live feeder fish in a bucket!

Back when I just had Mojito and Kahlua (and my fiancee still played futbol aka american soccor) we used to go to the park almost every weekend and I would bring Mo and Lu with us. The park is basically on the river but there are little run offs where minnows hang out. Mojito would b-line for them and his head would bob and dart around as he watched the fish. He loved it. Occasionally he'd get the guts to dive his head in, but he was never successful, lol. I have always wanted to get a small tub to fill with fish and water!! (only I keep forgetting) I say go for it, as long as it's a once in a while treat, I don't see how it'd be a problem
