carly L omg thank you sooo much is there a specific brand that you would recommend
Olivia Forrest
Doctors Foster and Smith Brand
My carpet shark loves it
Carly L thank you
Watched a ferret tiktok and now I am genuinely considering getting a ferret
Make sure to do some extreme research first before stepping up to the challenge. Trust me, I just got two ferrets of my own and they’re more of a handful than I thought they were even with the research I did.
Me 2 lol
@Logan Kamlet If you go to the pet store they’ll try and say you should get two, but in all honesty you don’t have to. Two ferrets, like any other pair of animals, can be good for the other so they won’t get lonely. However, if your schedule isn’t a busy one and you have all the time in the world to spend it with your ferret, you can get one.
At least that’s my opinion 🤷🏽♀️ It‘ll also depend on the ferret too, if they bond more with other ferrets. Make sure to research up on this topic a bit more, if you do plan to get one (or two)!

@@snapmyneck8818 a human can never replace a ferret partner. They are VERY social animals and need a same species partner to live healthy and happily
, make a video about how to nutritionally balance your ferrets on a raw diet.
I love the fact you have some hair on your top. Wonderfully realistic! I can’t remember the last time I wore clothing without hair. It’s the glitter that comes from living with animals
I wouldn't suggest Marshal kibble, because it shortens your ferret's life-span by 3-5 years.
ravil kutyev they also abuse their ferrets!! we should not help them with paying them for their crap products anyway
Hey, I've been looking all over your channel for a video of exactly what to feed in meats, like quantities, how many times per week or day & how to understand the percentage in each meat product you end up buying at the store. it would help me out a lot because i want to get my baby on the raw diet but theres no info about precise amounts to give. PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THIS.
Sarah pearl
Can you make a video actually showing how much because I don’t have a weight scale
Anna Hutson ferrets are pricy... A scale will be a investment
i would love to see a ferret meal plan that you personally use for your ferret 😊
I've started using cat formula and it has done wonders. You have helped me alot and given me alot of information i have needed throughout my ferret journey lol. Thank you so much!!
These videos are so helpful thank you so much
Thank you so much for the info! You look amazing!!
Thank you for the overview of diets and pros and cons steph!
That swimming horse picture!!! *-* i love it
Can you make a video on what to feed your ferret when on a raw food diet?
You look beautiful in this video! Thanks for the tips btw!
i would love to see a episode about keeping one or more ferrets. what is best and how everything around that 😄
Great interesting video I am a raw and prey feeder I’ve had Ferrets for 20 yrs + but I work mine in the field on rabbits I only change from a raw diet to kibble during the summer as it is warm and will attract flys and not good to have festering food in there quarters they seem to do ok on the kibble as it’s only for a few weeks but for the rest of the year raw and prey diet
My ferret's diet: Supplements-fish oil, ferret vite, skin and coat vitamins, and 1 raw quail egg yoke every day. Raw pig brain and raw fish eyes blended 2x a week. BPA free pumpkin canned every Sunday.
Food Rotation
1. Raw quail flesh
2. Raw pig tongue and pig heart
3. Raw Salmon fillet
4. Raw Chicken gizzards and blended chicken liver w/ quail egg shell
5. Raw Chicken heart
6. Raw Tilapia fillet
7. Raw Duck gizzards and duck leg flesh
8. Raw Blended beef liver w/ quail egg hell and 1/4 Ostrich patty
Mr. Joe I just got my ferret , she is a rescue she had been fed cat food so far I can not get her to eat anything raw. Any suggestions?
Ain't nobody got time for this
Where does you accent come from? I love it!
Why does Ms. Ferret-World's speech continually go in and out of accent?
whiteknightcat i noticed that as well
She might of been from somewhere else like the uk or some other place and moved somewhere else and she picked up the accent from another place in which lets assume the area she lives in now that would be the only logical thing imo
For the same reason everyone’s does because human speech is susceptible to outside sources and certain words will be heavier than others.
Ferret World can u plz do a video on how much to feed a ferret and good meats and stuff like that
Hello! I’m getting a ferret soon and I was thinking of starting it on a raw diet but what kind of meat is best for them? And how much should they eat a day?
Can you send me the names of some healthy foods that are easy to find himself like I'm using right now the Marshall one or whatever it's called
Our two cuties eat Doctors Foster and Smith for the high protein and for healthy skin and i also give some Zupreem Grain free though it does have pea as a binder so have been cutting down on it. Have tried other cooked meats but they seem fussy about it.
so i can just feed kibble? and how much?
Did anyone notice that she has an albino ferret
its literally the first thing in the video bruh
I feed my ferret James wellbeloved I that good brand?
What I am feeding them better be high quality!! I pay $50 bucks for a small bag! Thank you for the lesson, really helped!
Raw food is always better and usually a lot cheaper
I HAD A FERRET NAMED YUKI I miss her
I feed my dogs cooked food: rice, chicken, eggs, pumpkin, mixed veggies. What about giving some of that t my ferrets?
Just the egg and chicken :)
I’ve kept ferrets for years working ferrets that is, I feed mine on wild rabbit, wild pigeon, pheasant basically meat, never have a problem. They are meat eaters full stop. Once per week included to their meal egg, eggs are cheap. This is purely my own way. Handle your ferrets and make sure they get clean fresh water, cleaning the cages.
how do you know if you have a good quality kibble
Emily Hogben the first three ingredients will be meat and the ingredients label shouldn’t be long and shouldn’t have veggies in it!
If you don’t know more than 20% of the ingredients I would look into more relative organic ingredients
Maddie’s Exotics hey so is the kibble easy to find like will I be able to find these kibbles in a pet store and if so will it be a cat food or what?
@@user-ze8wz5jc7x you can feed ferrets a mix of ferret and cat food but they shouldn't have cat food alone. Some shops may sell it but I get mine from a pet shop or you can buy online. Hope this helps
Emily Hogben thank you so much I really needed some help because hopping from video to video they start telling me different things so thank you for this 💕
I need af ferret
What are good some good kibble brands to feed my ferrets or meals? So far right now I feed them grain free high protein chicken cat kibble but I’m not sure if that’s a good meal for them.
The best kibbles you can buy are the least processed ones. Kibbles that have less additives such as starches. What you do NOT want to see is any type of vegetable/fruit/starch matter in the kibble. The first ingredient should always be the meat, not things like chicken meal or chicken by products. You should see just simply chicken breast, beef, lamb, etc. I suggest the air dried kibble by the name of ZiwiPeak. It's quite expensive but it is SO good for your ferrets. It's essentially jerky. But if you do buy this brand, be sure to buy the CAT food. This is because cats have very similar dietary requirements to ferrets, which means you'll see way less plant matter. I also recommend to stay away from the chicken flavor, since this is the most "fake" recipe they sell. Please please remember to add water to your kibble!
Hey guys, I have a question. I have two ferrets I just rescued and right now they are eating the kibble that they were being fed in the shelter and I personally don't think/know if it is the best, it's called "totally ferret" and before that with their previous owners they were being fed marshals (even I know how bad it is). At the shelter the lady said she didn't like Wysong, but from my research it seems the best? I would do a raw diet, but my mum would never let me. So... any suggestions?
Rayneish Smith I use Wysong and I don't see anything wrong with it. It's definitely the best ferret marketed kibble but I'm not sure if it's the best to feed a ferret with if that makes any sense?
Can someone give me some advice? My mom won’t stop feeding my ferrets things like (Cocolate chips, Tomatoes and other toxic foods for them) wanna know her excuse?! Here: “oh, well they have short lives, let them eat what they want!” Or “oh well, They’ll be fine” and or “Whatever!” It makes me mad because she still says she knows more about ferrets even though she literally gave them chocolate. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP
I'm not sure if you've fixed this yet, but I recommend next vet visit to have your vet tell your mom the truth! Parents listen to the vet way more than they listen to their children sadly. Show vet documents on why non-meat material is bad for your ferrets!
There is a pet store in my town and I used to go and get all my fuzzbutts food from there (before i switched them to a better quality all meat kibble) and I connected with the one worker who also had a ferret and one day she told me how her ferret loved CHEERIOS! it scared me to death!
Did you tell her?
I am thinking about getting ferrets because I've wanted them for a long time and I've done research but I think it's best to hear from actual ferret owners, I'm a child so I can't really raw feed for many reasons so can anyone (doesn't have to be the one in the video but someone who knows what their talking about) tell me what's a good brand of kibble that will give my ferrets everything they need to be healthy and grow and basically what raw feeding can do sorry if I'm asking to much just trying to find what's best for ferrets
If you're young you really need to make sure your parents know exactly how expensive a ferret can be. You need at least $1,000 saved up PER ferret for potential vet bills, since ferrets do come prone to many different diseases. Raw diets aren't as expensive as you think! The kibbles you SHOULD be buying for your ferrets are actually more expensive than feeding a raw diet. Remember that ferrets are obligate carnivores and they can't digest anything other than meat. Everything aside from meat builds up in your ferrets system and can cause very expensive health issues down the line, such as insulinoma. If you absolutely cannot feed raw under any circumstance at the moment, I recommend ALWAYS looking at the ingredients list. You should see little to no plant matter or starches in the ingredients. I own two boys that are raw fed by the way :) It costs me around $60-$80 Dollars a month for their food delivery, with a lot of it being shipping costs. The number one kibble I recommend for your ferrets is ZiwiPeak AIR DRIED CAT FOOD. Remember it HAS to be CAT food, since the dog foods have more plant matter in them and therefor are bad for the ferrets. Remember to always add water to your kibble to keep your ferrets hydrated! I'd stay away from the chicken recipe they sell since it's more "fake" with it's ingredients than the other recipes, but all of the others are fine for ferret consumption. I wish you well in your ferret journey! Do tons of research! I recommend Friendly Neighborhood Ferrets, PazuAndFriends, and Dook Souls as very great places to get good information for ferrets. There's a lot of misinformation online!
Can you mix diets like in the morning can you give kibble and then later can you give them meat?
Dr. Cactus i would probably do kibble and put small pieces of meat mixed in just so they can get used to it
There's this pet supply shop in my town called Maxi Zoo (I'm not sure if they have it in other countries) and they sell canned ferret food and I wanted to know if canned food is okay for ferrets??
NOOO
cuz I'm in britian and I'm british
I use a commercial kibble ferret food from my pet store, i have no idea if its high quality or not tbh as they do not have a lot of variety. I am on my first ferret, he is nearly 2 years old, he likes his food (well he eats it at least) but i have noticed that he will often take some of the dogs food which IS an expensive high quality kibble but in huge bites size for a ferret--it will just grab one and run off with it, like its just robbed a bank or something. As I didnt realize they were so prone to dietary related diseases, I was wondering is it bad for him to eat the dogs kibble?
NichoTBE I am pretty sure dog food is not that good for them but cat food is what you should feed if u want to feed it a kibble diet. I would recommend the Instinct Raw Boost cat food. Kibble that is made for ferrets is usually pretty bad. I hope I helped.
Im so mad at my dog bc it ate all of my ferrets food and the stores are closed so idk what to do :(
Maybe order online?
Piggy Palace It was night time lol, i was just stressed that they wouldn’t eat.. at the end I just gave them some egg and went for food the next day. If I order online is way expensive and it would take days... so yeah...
Do ferrets need a home base cage if the are free roam
They don't need one, no. As long as your home is safe for them to be out 24/7 like a cat :)
What type of kibble brand do you suggest for ferrets that are on kibble?
ZiwiPeak Air dried raw CAT food. Remember to add water to any kibble you feed :)
Raw diet, especially prey diet, is always the best for ferrets.
Kibbles, no matter their quality, have been proven to be a major cause of insulinoma (lethal pancreas disease) and shortened lifespan. I'd advise everyone to read Susan Brown's and Bob Church's papers on the subject.
I wish people who are "pro kibbles" could understand that when they are advised to choose raw diet, this is done for the ferrets' sake and not just for trolling. This is not just a sterile ego debate, this is about ferrets' wellbeing and lifespans...
Cristalsonic Christal that's not true. If the cat food meets the protein and fat needs its good. Also if it doesn't contain any unwanted ingredients aswell, its still good. The information is false.
@@rayobrien8680
If kibble is an okay option, then why do you NEVER see kibble being fed to zoo animals?
Ray, you need to do proper research before declaring something false when you know nothing about it. The process of creating kibble destroys a huge portion of the nutrients in the original ingredients (raw food items), forcing the company to add on artificial vitamins and minerals to meet the needs. Also, to make kibble stay dry and hard, fillers NEED to be added because meat on it's own would just crumble. Sadly, all foods used as fillers (grains, peas, potatoes) are foods ferrets are not supposed to eat.
There are so many more reasons why kibble is DANGEROUS for pets - especially obligate carnivores like ferrets and cats - but you'll have to look that up yourself because there's so much to explain.
Trust me/us. Once you know how disgusting kibble is, you'll never be able to go back, and be happy that you now know the truth. Ferrets MUST BE FED RAW because they are obligate carnivores, and they haven't been in existence long enough to adapt to thriving on human food like dogs and cats have.
Thanks for the video and info.
What is your opinion on James Wellbeloved complete ferret food? There is wheat in it and that annoys me.
Would raw feed but they're in my room and also worry about getting wrong even with info.
I can't find better kibble and can't find wysong online that delivers to Ireland, everyone said wysong is best, but the dog food is on a list of dog food that is unhealthy for dogs, so I'm confused.
James well beloved isn't great, I'd look further into raw. If it's just misinformation you're worried about then check the holistic ferret forum, the youtuber Bryn Katherine also has good information on raw diets
Generally raw is always better than kibble, every ferret I have has come from a kibble diet and the couple weeks as they get healthier, happier and generally more energetic is always fascinating to me, good luck with your ferret :)
@@eviolus-5660 Thanks, JW is literally the best of the worst I could buy.
No idea why but always been nervous regarding ordering food online but had to change my mind and quickly.
l've ordered 3 types of Frettchen4You food, arriving tomorrow hopefully.
If they like it, I'll seriously have to budget, the food is expensive but shipping cost makes it more difficult, especially with my type of income.
Looking at the information and ingredients it's the next best to raw "nutritionally" compared to other dry complete food and much better quality than anything else.
The shop I've been buying James Wellbeloved since my first ferret suddenly stopped selling it, without warning. So I was panicking. They had Burgess instead but it's not great either, they didn't like it and poop was bad, I literally gave them a tiny bit with their usual food.
Fingers crossed they like the food tomorrow.
Wysong is meant to be good but too nervous feeding them something I might not be able to get regularly.
But noticed lately James Wellbeloved is smells a lot more of wheat and fish.
So I thought I'de try a company that only sells ferret food.
So if they like the new food "they better! Cost quite a bit" as said I'll seriously need to budget.
It's not misinformation, I'm worried about and reading a lot on BARF and general raw but I can't raw feed my two, all I can say is circumstances won't allow it, it would be too much of a health risk for me and them. But I've read a lot on raw and watched videos etc..
See how they do with the new food.
It's not laziness but just too risky with raw, maybe I'll change my mind but see how it goes this week.
I'm looking into raw feeding my dog, but quite often a lot of issues regarding meat in Ireland which makes me stall.
@@eviolus-5660 but thanks, I do appreciate your opinion. Nothing is better than raw or whole prey. But the ingredients in the new food is worked out precisely for ferrets, there's "vole, mouse, rabbit, turkey, chicken, some fish, the guy explained the process etc.. Hope it's as good. I trust a smaller company than a huge one. They actually care about their product. They also sell day old chicks" whole prey"
@@eviolus-5660 I had a look at Bryn Katherine, looks like a good channel. Thanks for the suggestion. But even with all my searches, I wonder why her channel wasn't ever suggested. Thanks.
So my girlfriend and I recently got an albino ferret, and he has some yellowing going on in his fur around the neck area, we recently got him from a person who rescued him, how do I know that he is health and that the yellow isn't anything bad?
Hunter Zobrist a yellow tint is very common for any white ferret, they produce a lot of oil and that oil tends to tent the fur. It doesn't necessarily mean it's unhealthy. I have heard raw diet does help a lot, particularly with white fur. Don't over bathe the ferret, clean cage often, and wash bedding. Also, you may spot clean problem areas with a wash cloth
Is fish good for ferrets because im getting a ferret and I will be feeding him a raw food diet and hopefully fish
wolf tone no fish is not good for ferrets.try to keep them away the best you can.sorry this is late
In the book ferret for dummies says you can give them tuna in spring water x
Hello! My beautiful ferret has been diagnosed with a tumor and a healthy friend of mine suggested all raw food. Beef liver combined with chicken neck. Is that good? Do you a page where a can read about this???help please!!!!
I'd definitely reccomend a raw diet but transition gradually. Check out the holistic ferret forum, it has basic feeding schedules and lots of information on raw diets :)
Raw food might definitely help, I do however recommend to follow as much vet care as possible for a tumor. Good luck to your little fuzzy !!
I have a few questions. First off i have this daily feeding schedule that i want to use. I will be feeding my ferrets a raw meal once a day in the morning and wysong freeze dried ferret food at night. So the schedule says to feed bone mean 4 days a week, muscle meat 2 days and organ meat 1 day a week. So is this a good schedule? If not how can i improve it and if so then which of those days would i feed heart? A lot of schedules have heart for a specific day but i dont want those schedules because they are for a.m. And p.m but i just need am. Also when i feed whole mice what day wpuld i feed it on and would it be instead of the raw meat or instead of the wysong. Same for egg yolk. What day and instead pf meat or wysong? Any help would be appreciated:)
Avoid mixing diets long term but I'd say Monday, bone in meat, tuesday, offal (half liver), Wednesday, bone in meat, Thursday, half liver half heart and bone in friday-sunday
Also egg yolk can be added any time, I'd replace the wysong with the whole prey since raw is healthier for them, make sure not to feed whole prey too close to offal or heart since it can give them too much
Eviolus - what do you mean by offal or heart when you say feeding them whole prey
@@foxywhite200 I mean whole prey includes heart an organs so don't feed heart and organs as well as whole prey because it will be too much
Is Feeding high quality no fruit or anything pellet with chicken and cook them together good for them
Don't cook the meats, it depletes the nutrients and kinda negates the point of feeding raw
Grey thank you 😊
kibble diets have so many ingredients. Which are some that shouldn't be in there?
no corn veggies fruits nuts peas and milk i think
Pretty In Ink do not feed your ferret any veggies, fruits, nuts and sugary treats
Please help me I am struggling to decide whether I should get one or two ferrets what do you think is best??
Ríana Grant at least two ferrets. They are very sociable animals. Although remember to be always be a responsible ferret owner (and pet owner for that matter). :)
Thank you I had a fair idea I just wanted some advice once again thanks :)
Personally, I just like sticking with one. My girl is sweet as can be, doesn't tear much stuff up, and strictly has used her litter box practically from day one. The boy I just sold to a friend was the total opposite and no matter how hard I tried with him, he caused chaos. Lol.
What are the names of the good kibble
Wysong epigon 90 is proves the best but really it’s a raw diet that is best
ZiwiPeak Air Dried Raw Cat food- Stay away from the chicken recipe
Could my ferrets eat cat food for a main course kind of diet and then have small amounts of fleshy/organs and bones?
Furry Ferret Friends it’s not dry kitten food and I’ve checked it doesn’t contain anything they can’t have it’s high in protein ❤️
Yes! Just because it's labeled for cats doesn't mean your ferret can't have it. Ferrets and cats are nearly identical in dietary requirements.
what kind of raw feeders do you use?? frozen mice? do you just thaw them and hand them to them? u said feathers where do u get frozen bird feeders? very curious.
you can feed frozen mice and defrost them in warm water but not boiling
thats what she feeds some times i watched her video
SicklySynester You can feed ferrets dead chicks, they are cheaper than mice and just as good.
They have to be defrozen 24 hours before being given, and cen be kept in the fridge for 48 hours once defrozen.
What kibble would you recommend? I'm still researching about raw diets at the moment.
We actually talk about what to look for in a kibble diet in this months Dook Dook Ferret Magazine. You can get a copy here To learn more about how to join the Ferret-World Membership and access this and future issues of the digital, monthly 'Dook Dook Ferret Magazine' go to ferret-world.mykajabi.com/p/dook-dook-ferret-magazine-march-17
For kibble I would recommend Orijen, Wellness Core , Wysong Epigen 90, Instinct Raw Boost, or EVO.
Ferret-World thanks to you my parents let me get two ferrets, names Cooper and Peanut
Dovahkiin which one out of all those would you say is the best?
Dovahkiin what about zupreem
You aint see dead bodies until you raw feed large dogs lol
Please help me I want a ferret so bad and I have done my research and my parents say I am responsible enough to get one but I have cats that pee on things that they aren't supposed to pee on and my parents say I either have to get rid of my cats (which I can't because I love them) or train them not to pee but I don't know how please help me I don't know what to do😢
me ferret You'd probably have more luck commenting on a video about cats.
tell them that you will keep them in the garage or however you spell it if you have one or keep them locked in your room and put the cats in your room supervised hope it works
Go to Woo&Pep webpage if you'd like to learn about diet much more.
Would you say Iams is an okay brand to feed mine for now? I'm planning on switching to a better quality, but stuff like Iams is all I can afford at the moment. She's on a mix of this and ground meat!
Sorry to be such a snark, but if disgusting Iams is all you can afford, then how the heck are you gonna pay the vet bills when your ferret gets insulinoma or adrenal disease?
Another option is eggs
Hi can I feed my ferret dog food?
Cheesy fun I'm pretty sure you can't but cat food is good if it's high quality
Do NOT feed your ferret dog food... dogs are omnivores and can process foods an obligate carnivore such as a cat or ferret cannot.
Some cat foods are good for ferrets, while others are not... if you're going to use cat food, please do research first, don't just grab anything.
Orijin makes a good cat food that ferrets can eat, or just get a high quality ferret kibble like Wysong Epigen 90.
How do you tell apart a low quality kibble from a high quality kibble?
Check the ingredients, avoid things like wheat and corn. It needs 20-25% fat, above 36% protein and less than 3% fibre
can you feed them raw chicken wings?
I feed my ferret kibble but it's pets at home brand and he's healthy
and I'm 1st
Ferrets are Carnivores and in nature they would mainly eat Herbivores ( Prairie dogs) and in that way they do actually end up digesting plant material via their prey. That is natural. So stop freaking out about some non meat products in the Ferret Kibbles. The best ones are balanced diets for Ferrets. Just like the Cat food is for cats.
Believe it or not Marshall Farms uses their same diet for all their breeding pairs. Over 80,000 pairs! For the last 60 plus years. This Marshall diet was formulated just for their Ferrets. They have to produce the highest quality biologically as well as for temperament. How can these companies that have no experience breeding Ferrets do a better job than a professional large scale breeder with decades of experience. They can't. And again, Cat food is for cats. Not Ferrets. I have owned and worked with Ferrets for over 30years. I know everyone has good intentions when it comes to our furry friends so its all good. But we have to look at the times. Supplying a good raw natural diet is just not possible for everyone. I wouldn't want to have to go out and hunt every time I wanted to eat meat. Our Modern domesticated Urban Ferret is adjusting to the Diets we give them. Just like we Domesticated the Cat, Dog, Chicken, Rabbit, etc.. The Wild Black Footed Ferret of North America is not domesticated. And for them your raw natural Diet would make a lot more sense to me. So we can agree to disagree and move on. As long as you love Ferrets its all good.
Have you actually been to Marshall Farms and seen this for your self ? No you have not. But I have and I know what they are doing. Its not as bad as you have been brain washed into believing by people like you that have never actually seen their set up. No European blood has been mixed into the Marshall gene pool. And with over 100,000 Animals they can control their population just fine. But you are set in your beliefs so thats fine with me. There are no more bad genes in Marshalls Ferret population then there is in any large population of animals including humans. We all get sick at some times, we all can get cancer, etc. Where are you getting your information? Again there is some insider information that you may not know about that totally debunks your claim of bad genes in Marshall Ferrets. But like I said ... I don't hate you and I don't want to fight. So if you don't mind. I will not fuck myself this time. Maybe next time though. I know you mean well, but you are trying too hard.

Marshall Ferret food is made by the Farm the breeds the Ferrets. There is no better option. Period. Why do people always want to re invent the wheel. Learn from the people that came before you. Ferrets have been domesticated for over 3000 years.
The food that you just mentioned is actually one of the worst foods that you can feed your ferrets. Do your research.
I think over 60 years of breeding the top Ferrets in the USA is proof that the diet they use is very good. It was not even available to the public in the very beginning. I have been selling and keeping Ferrets for over 25 years. You are very new to this industry. We have had Ferrets live over 12 years on this diet alone. There is information that you are not aware of that forces me to agree to disagree with you on this one. But we all love Ferrets so its all good. The raw diet is not practical. The average Ferret owner will not be able to adhere to that program correctly. Not all Ferrets are created equal. Fitch Ferrets from England and New Zealand are used to catch rabbits. They might do well on a raw diet in that environment, but our Pet grade domesticated Ferrets are totally able to thrive on the proper dry diet. And In my opinion that is Marshall premium Ferret Food.

Michael what else do you do besides feed them that kibble? I'm intrested. Has your ferrets ever had a hard time swallowing marshall food and digesting it? Both my ferrets are acting up. How did you get your Ferrets to 12 years?!?!? What is it your doing besides giving that kibble? :)
Michael
Marshall is a mass market breeding group which doesn't care about the individual wellbeing and lifespan of ferrets - or any animal they breed.
Their choice in diet is totally linked to profit and easy use, it has nothing to do with health. Their breeding jills are retired and euthanized as soon as 3 years old, meaning they don't give a sh** about the possible health problems they could develop due to kibble diet (like insulinoma). Don't forget they also breed ferrets, dogs and rodents for animal testing - they don't care at all about animals' quality of life as long as they can make profit from selling them.
Besides, Marshall Farms didn't invente ferret nutrition. European hunters did, 2 millenia ago, when they began domesticating ferrets for hunting purpose. For more than 2000 years, ferrets were fed raw diet, and were able to live up to 12 years.
Now that they were introduced in America and bred by giant pet mills, they hardly make it to 4 years old. Please take a moment to think about it.
