Ferret kits Hunter & Otter play and kill live mouse

WARNING: A mouse dies in this video. Meet my new kits, Hunter and Otter! Otter is the youngest and only wants to play. She doesn't know how to eat mice yet. Hunter likes to play but wants to eat! Feeding Ferrets whole raw food is better than feeding them kibble food. Hunter ended up eating the whole mouse (including fur), minus the tail. From now on they get only frozen mice.

What do you think is in the ferret food, pray tell? That's right, dead animals. :)

However, it also has a lot of fillers and garbage in it. Ultimately, the whole prey diet is more appropriate.

I would be worried about the mouse injuring the ferrets in some way. =/ I would stick to pre-killed/frozen mice.

I wish you would put something in the tub that would eat those stinking ferrets! My wife has one and I wish it would just die! Stink'n little bastards!

Way to go! Happy to see other folks allowing their ferrets to be real ferrets and gain the perfect compliment of nutrients! Kudos to you!

@bluemoose08 People may feed poor quality food, such as mass produced in-bred live mice, in order to feed domesticated ferrets. If you wish to continue the pros/cons of comparing the nutritional comparisons of a live/whole prey vs alternative diets to a pet ferret, then please message me fom my homepage. I have no desire to debate any further on the comments section of a video I disagree with. Hope to hear your opinion.

@kaeso100 Nutritional benefit means the animal gets nutrients when it digests the food. Indigestible means the substance cannot be digested. The problem with most kibbles is the amount of indigestible materials. Ferrets need much less indigestible ingredients than most kibbles contain. Too many indigestibles leads to nutritional deficiencies and can cause a blockage. You have the right to feed your pets whatever you want and like it or not, so does everyone else.

@bluemoose08 So," indigestibles like vegetables, grains, and fur sever is to help "move things along", much like fiber for humans" yet,"The fruits, vegetables, grains, corn, ect. that are put into kibble are fillers that have no nutritional benefit." Therefore you consider components that promotes gut movement to be beneficial, but also unbeneficial to a ferrets diet due to poor nutritional value?! Make up your mind. P.s I could feed my dog stray cats, would it be a humane or correct choice?!

[bluemoose08]

@kaeso100 Actually many ferrets will avoid the digestive system of their prey. Most of mine usually eat around the intestines and leave them. The only purpose indigestibles like vegetables, grains, and fur sever is to help "move things along", much like fiber for humans. Certainly whole prey doesn't need to be live to be beneficial but just as it is your choice and right to feed kibble, everyone else has the right to choose how they feed their pets even if they choose to feed whole prey or live.
