No - Def dead this one !... Re feeding yours - pepperonis !...No - what you want to try is raw meat - Liver, Kidneys, (Pig or Lamb) and try to tease her with it - push it into her face & away, and again & again....she'll go to grab it eventually..how old is she ?

you never ever give ferrets rabbit or even a goose now that is just cruel you only give ferrets marshalls ferret food you idiot. duhhhhhhhh

[ferretman37]

idiot eh.... so you don't get out much do you... & if all your ferrets get is dry food I pity them...they've never had the chance to taste the real stuff that they were designed to eat !

[BOB4327]

Do you have to feed them raw meat like that?

[ferretman37]

No - you dont HAVE to ...but I do as its free food & keeps them keen to what I want them to hunt.....I`ve always fed my ferrets Raw food from kits(young) but they also eat egg & milk and also dry food(ferret food in the form of pellets - just vitamins & stuff)

i would give mine raw meat but they wont take it...ive tried so many times so i keep them on a dry food diet but not that marshalls crap that people feed their ferrets. they are happy and healthy ^^

@BOB4327 In today's world they have good dry foods available on the market like EVO, but a raw diet is very good for them if you can get them to eat it.

@webkinzlover1081 You obviously know very little about these animal. Marshalls is full of grain and other fillers that are bad for ferrets. Ferrets digestive tracks are very sort and are made for high protein meat diets. My ferrets eat Evo but thats only because they won't eat a raw food diet, if I could get them to eat a raw food diet, I would.

The only problem I have with this is if it was alive. Other then that I don't mind, it should be the same for everyone else.

HELP: I can't get my ferret to touch meat, I've tried chicken, beef and pepperonis. But she won't even look at it? How do I get her to eat?

You're the idiot here webkinzlover1081. Ferrets are natural predators. Wild ferrets, such as the black-footed ferrets (native to North America) prey on prairie dogs. Also, domesticated ferrets were brought here from Europe to hunt mice. This is what they're meant to eat.

@lordhaych19 let me correct myself, i meant to say IF ferrets where wild, rabbits would be a natural part of the diet

[lordhaych19]

@webkinzlover1081 ferrets eat rabbits in the wild, that rabbit is nothing more than a natural part of that ferrets diet fyi is more healthy, equally it varies diet which is recommended for most pets because no one wants to eat the same shit through their entire life.
