Baby ferret eating a mouse

Her first time eating whole prey.
She knows what to do and seems to really enjoy it :D
UPDATE
Fermi, this is her name, is now a happy 1 year old spayed jill (not alone, she's one of my four ferrets) and, strangely, prefers kibble and an occasional *veg* treat over mice, lol.
I'm strongly behind feeding whole, though, and intend to get the two kits I'm raising atm used to more fresh meat and rodents. It's the proper, healthy ferret diet and just feels better than constantly stuffing a predator with something that resembles droppings.
Anyone objecting to feeding ferrets whole prey and preaching for the retarded reasons that you tend to have, you can take your concerns and stick them up your arse!
Thanks.



(The fuzzy mouse was dead and defrosted, I buy lots of frozen rodents for my snakes.)

@fmoua12

Well, it just so seems I've run out of living things to feed to her at the time, lol.

She loved her dead one, though. And so do the kits I'm currently raising! (I've advanced by 3 ferrets since then)

and living things sorry i just don' t enjoy ferrets eating other animals and i know that there carnivores also it just that i prefer my eating ferret food thats all

@fmoua12

Ferret food is derived from other animals. Whole, ground up and dessicated, it makes no matter, it's still a dead animal. It's still meat. I gut, skin and eat rabbits etc., as well, and I prefer preparing them like this myself over buying ready-made morsels in a shop, if truth be told.

I'd feed my ferrets whole prey-only if I could afford it, at least I'd know the animal wasn't tortured or mistreated before someone scraped it from off the floor and processed it.

Are YOU people idiots? Ferrets are nothing but Big ugly rats. You see them roaming the slums and eating out garbage in Africa and Asia! If anyone sees one they step on it just as normal rats! You must be a moron to have this thing as a pet.

@egyptianstylez

If I stepped on you and put some effort into it, it would probably me for the best.

@egyptianstylez

First, ferrets don't eat garbage, they are mesocarnivores and they eat carrion at worst. Meaning, their diet is probably better than what most of you in Asia and Africa eat.

Second, there is no wild ferrets in Asia and Africa, it just shows how incredibly fucking stupid you are. Not to mention they have as much to do with rodents as you have with an anteater. Maybe you do look like an anteater? Judging by your mannerism and intellect I'd say it's a possibility.

Lol i had a vid of my ferret eating a house mouse on my channel but i took it off coz i didnt want to freak people out... My one mostly eats ferret food but she loves most veg and fruit (and eggs but they give her the runs) but i give her meat occasionally not too often coz i dont want her to start biting my dad again...

@egyptianstylez Ferrets aren't from Africa or Asia and they specifically eat small mammals, birds and amphibians- not garbage. 

[peepslostsheep]

@egyptianstylez

They aren't related to rats at all actually. Rats are rodents, ferrets are not. Rats also make wonderful pets. Nice ignorance you got going on there.

@fmoua12

What do you think ferret food is made from? Sunshine and rainbows? It is maid from animals. From meat. Feeding raw diets is 1,000 times better than feeding dried kibble all the time. Unless you are vegetarian, you eat dead things all the time. The only difference is that ferrets can handle it raw. What do you think their wild relatives eat? Certainly not kibble.
