    Hi! I was wondering if you could make a chart/calendar of what exactly you feed your ferrets in a week. Because I get what you should be feeding them, but I'm still uncertainty of how much and when.
    I think seeing a solid plan to follow would be a big help! Thanks for all you do! ✨

    • @Pazuandfriends
      @Pazuandfriends  Před 3 lety +3

      Check out my "what do ferrets eat video" but keep in mind there is no one-size-fits-all meal plan for ferrets, many adjustments are needed depending on your ferrets' individual needs :)

  • @btsfan213

    Hi i have a question and you might not see my comment but,,, are you supposed to feed ferrets controlled 'meals' at set times of the day or should they be 'free feeding' where you leave out a bowl??

  • @ashthomas8760

    What is your opinion on live feeding like letting your ferret hunt the mouse

    • @Pazuandfriends
      @Pazuandfriends  Před 3 lety +7

      That's a great question. Live feeding can be very stressful for all involved, and sometimes even the ferret can be harmed in the process. It's also not very natural at all, as the prey would have the ability to escape in a natural setting.
      I wouldn't do it and wouldn't recommend others to do so either! But this is just my opinion.

    Hi. Can you give me a quick opinion on my homemade diet.
    I mince 40% red meat ( small animal) 10 % fat
    30 % organs ( heart liver lung kidney tripe)
    5% pure raw bone dust from bandsaw
    5% egg shell dust
    10% bone broth
    They get this most day but once a week I do chicken , a once a week whole wild rabbit.
    IV noticed very shinie cotes and great growth rate of kits. I also mix Luke warm water just prior to feeding. ??? Your thoughts

    Do you think 12 to 20 hours of free roam and they can walk around and sleep when they want. They can also they can go into the cage if they want. Will that be enough time they will be in there cage at night

    • @Swaggdub
      @Swaggdub Před 3 lety +3

      no it is not. ferrets require variety in their diet. on a chicken only diet they will be very deficient in multiple vitamins. chicken also contains way more omega-6 then omega-3 which will capsule chronic inflammation.

    • @hotbetty68
      @hotbetty68 Před 3 lety +2

      Your ferret can potentially kill your hampster/guinea pig. They are rodents and the ferret may hunt it.

    • @Swaggdub
      @Swaggdub Před 3 lety +3

      ferrets are very social animals so you need at least two! I would not recommend keeping ferrets near hamsters/ guinea pigs. the smell of the ferret will stress out the prey animals and if the ferret gets to them they will try to kill them. an average room will not be enough free roam space but is okay as a “home base” if the ferrets are allowed in other parts of the house. they will definitely smell up more easily if kept in one room.
