My ferret lived til 8 years old. We'd almost always fed her on a mix of kibble (made for ferrets) and chopped meat (no bones though) She was a pet and was allowed to have run of the loungeroom in mornings and evenings so we had to cut up her food or confine her :P I never heard her make a sound like that, except maybe once at the vet's. But then she was also always a lone ferret.
I don't think it would have been hard to get her to change over to an entirely meat diet though.
Good! Thanks :) i just read the rest of your comment, lol! Mine were all kibble fed for a while, before transitioning them to raw. Now- they won't touch kibble! I'm also a mentor to help people get their ferrets on a raw diet! And one of them was 5 years old when transitioned ;)
My ferret was SO defensive over his food when he was a kit -- even toward me when I filled his food bowl. I can imagine fresh quail carcass would cause some ear-piercing ferret screams! It doesn't sound too loud in the video but gah, they're deafening, especially on tile floor. They will learn to share! Good job on supplementing Marshalls -- my ferret won't eat anything besides that stuff. Argh.
Lol, what a drama queen. That's funny stuff.

Awesome video! I loved it. I just got my 11 week old ferret to start eating raw meat, whole prey is next, I look forward to it.

I hope it's ok, but I've put up a link to this video for those on my ferret forum who wonder about ferrets eating bone :)
My little marked DEW does exactly the same thing, lol!
