I discuss this at the end of the video but if you don’t want to stick around that long- YES this food is very expensive. You’re paying for quality product and peace of mind. It’s just the way life is- if you want to feed a complete diet that’s healthy with no artificial preservatives, with appropriate meat and organ it’s going to be pricey. They don’t cut corners. I’ve been getting lots of messages asking for cheaper alternatives, this is the only dry food right now that I recommend for ferrets at this point in time. Cheap foods will compromise your ferret’s health.
OMG THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS! I’m adopting a 3 year old ferret this week. Technically I’m saving her. Poor babies never been taken to the vet, desexed, vaccinated, descented, and they say they only take her out of her small cage every 2 days:( she’s also never been bathed or nails been clipped. 😭😭 I cant wait to care for her!!
[Mod] nice job saving her. ferrets only need to take a bath 1-2 times a year. Unless the ferret is noticeably dirty, I’d avoid giving them a bath. And give them some time to settle. Too much stress isn’t good!
@Star Dog yea! If you ask the people Who cut the meat if they have any spare parts that they are planning on throwing away they’ll probably give it to you for a low price
Thank you for this I was planning to feed ziwi peak while I still live with my parents who wont let me feed raw but I still had some questions about it and you've just answered all of them❤
i want a ferret so bad i have been binge watching videos doing research and my mom keeps saying be grateful for the animals u have i am and i just wanna expand my love❤️❤️😭
Just wanted to say I appreciate you and your channel SO MUCH!!! No drama, unnecessary talking, just straight to the point. Love it!!!! Thanks for this vid!
I literally found your channel yesterday and I CAN NOT stop! I absolutely love your channel even though I will probably never get a chance to adopt a ferret 🥺
Finally found a channel that helps me understand what they need we just got a ferret that is an adult and she doesn't eat raw she cant so she needs a dry diet and I wanna find out everything that will help prolong her life thank you cause it's so hard to find out what they actually need thank you for making this channel I appreciate it so much
I'm hoping to adopt a 2 year old ferret soon, poor baby hasnt really been socialised and has been fed Marshals. I live with my parents and they're strict vegetarians. We feed our cats and dogs dried and wet food because we cant really afford a raw diet and we cant access the things we need for it in the little village we live in. I really want to adopt this ferret but I was struggling to find a kibble that made me comfortable with letting my pet eat it. IM SO HAPPY YOU MADE THIS VIDEO!! I can afford Ziwipeak and I cant wait to adopt this poor ferret and convert it onto something that will make it so much healthier🥰🥰
My husband and I were given a ferret by a acquaintance, we are pretty sure it is a Marshal ferret. Our question is where do we find non Marshal ferrets? We don't have a ferret rescue close to us only the pet store selling Marshal babies for like $400.00 I would live to resume them all.. 😡 I had already heard some of the horror stories about Marshals... Anyway, we love your videos very informative, and your frequent surprise guests (ferret babies) make it so entertaining.. 😊
Hi there, you can tell if it’s a Marshall’s ferret because your ferret will usually have a dot tattooed in between their feet or somewhere on their ear. If you’re in the US, it’s near impossible to find a non Marshal’s ferret . They basically have a monopoly on ferrets in the USA because When they ship them to pet stores, they are already spayed/neutered. Maybe you can find a non Marshall’s ferret if they are imported from Europe or another country, but I’m not sure if there are restrictions on importing them. 🤷♀️
the best cage i’ve seen is the Ferret Nation cage. you can get it on amazon brand new or you could check local ferret shelters(ferretshelters.org/shelters-directory/), Craigslist or Facebook marketplace :)
I’m not allowed to get a ferret (yet!) since my parents won’t let me, but either way I’ve been researching and planning on what to buy for one! I have a small room too, and I’ve found these 2 cages that are extremely close to the recommended cage size for 1 ferret (1st is larger than recommended, 2nd is a couple inches smaller)! 1. ‘Ferret Nation Model 141 (36”L x 25” W x 38.5” H) www.amazon.com/Midwest-181-Leak-Proof-Locking-Measures/dp/B000F4UNCG/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me= 2. Living World Deluxe Habitat (37.8”L x 22.4” W x 22” H) That’s in large, it also comes in standard (too small for a ferret), or XL! www.amazon.com/Living-World-Deluxe-Habitat-X-Large/dp/B005AYYM0A?th=1 HOPE THIS HELPS 🤍
hey!! i have a question is wysong food good for ferrets? i’m getting 2 in 3 days just working on ferret proofing the house. your videos really helped me and you’re such an inspiration! please never stop making youtube videos i look forward to them! 😘
Two ferrets here and we're transitioning from Wysong to Ziwi peak completely, the video mentions to add water to the Ziwi food, but the company indicates it should be fed without, my ferrets always have two water bowls and drink while they eat, is rehydrating the Ziwi food necessary?
(Mod) yes ferrets don’t have a thirst drive because the food will soak up all the liquids in their system they need the water added to make sure they stay hydrated
I’m unsure why the company feels water shouldn’t be added, especially for cats! This food is pure dehydrated meat! Makes sense to me 🧐 I’d say as a precaution you def should. I don’t see any drawbacks to adding water.
Is it okay to mix ziwi peak with a kibble or would that be equivalent to the danger of feeding raw and kibble and creating a bacterial growth in ferrets?
How much do you feed them per ferret? I have two and I'm planning on switching my babies to ziwi after watching this so thank you for making this video! Very informative
I just use blue wilderness kitten food to my ferrets. And I know its working well coz they have more energy since I've switched and their fur is super silky smooth since they switched. Quality of fur is a good indicator of their diet. Only bummer of it is it only comes in a small bag but one bag feeds my 5 ferrets for 2 weeks
Jaiden Stein I did a lot of research and kept asking for them and convinced them they aren’t mean and don’t stink that was their biggest concern and after a year they sad yes
Could you do a video on a feeding schedule? If you haven’t already😄 I am hoping to get a ferret when it’s Christmas so I would love to know if you have to feed different meats on different days?
i’m a raw feeder but i’m still watching lol! i used ziwi peak & stella and chewys freeze dried raw cat food to help transition to frankenprey raw. i recommend blending with water because this food doesn’t hydrate easily. it comes out a wet food texture.
Hello Pazu, my ferret some times is taking poop slime with a light green color, the thing he is 2 years old and I never give him raw food never, and he always eat Marshall products so I ask you, I would like try to start change slowly his food to wysong and raw food but idk how start to do this, I want your opinion and your experience pls, his a healthy ferret but the only thing I see is the poop but is not always just sometimes, thank you for your videos and I hope you answer me soon, or somebody with experience I want to hear experience, thanks!
(Mod) ferrets eat 5-7% percent of their body weight a day so calculate that and then from there you could see how much they need a day. But even with whole prey they need a variety of meats
@@ferretsofthegalaxy2704 Hi! I know kibble fed ferrets have a terrible odor compared to raw fed ferrets. Is the odor of feeding the Kiwi diet bad like kibble fed or better like raw fed? (I do know the best alternative to better odor is a complete raw diet but I don’t have that option right now)
Is the dried apple pomace or the Inulin from Chicory in the Ziwi bad for ferrets, I am trying to pick a food to get them off marshalls and I am SO confused. please help !!
If your going to add bones to your ferrets dry food diet. How do you suggest doing that? Buying like straight bone? I want to get the kiwi peak beef cat food for my ferret and add bones so they get all the nutrients but I’m unsure how to add it.
When you say serve it in water, what exactly do you mean by this? Should it be like a cereal situation where there isnt like a super large amount of water? Or should there be more water than the dry food in the food to water ratio? I just am curious for a better idea as i don't want to oversaturate the food if I don't have to to avoid messes as I am renting, but I also don't want to dehydrate my ferrets.
WAIT WHEKTKNWDKRI I HAVE QUESTIONS HELP PLS so do I just change for ziwi peak because I give them just their wasint kibble in a bowl so do I do the same for ziwi peak?
Hello my name is brook I am watching videos befor I get a ferret I was wondering if I have to take their blood glucose at home because I watched a video saying that they take their ferrets blood glucose at home so do I have to do that?
Hi does it matter what kind of Ziwipeak food you get for a ferret like chicken, beef etc. and when i look up the food its categorized as cat food is that the same?
A ferret needs more of some organs and bones and things like that while cats need less with some of body parts and cat get more protein from chicken than ferrets do.
Can I add a little bit Of egg white and yolk to the food? So I would use water to dampen the food and add a tablespoon of egg white and yolk. Or just yolk?
@@caileyjohnson1016 i feed lamb and beef ziwipeak and mix it together as well as a small meal of raw chicken, heart, and gizzards in the afternoon, sometimes a raw meaty bone for her teeth too
@@oliviathurston4965 are you still following this diet? I’m working on getting the diet down correctly there is a lot of questions I’m going through at I had. This was one on the. Number of proteins
i really want to buy this brand and also give my future ferrets RMB but is there a min or max you can give them a week? Also which one in your opinion is the best? And where would i get it?
Help so much infomation. I need Feed your ferret for Dummies! Is this in a nut shell what you are referring to so know exact;y what to order? Ziwi Peak Air-Dried Mackerel & Lamb Recipe Cat Food?
So I would buy the Ziwi peak cat food? When I first got my ferret the pet store stressed I don’t feed them cat food, I just want to make sure I order the right stuff.
The name of the specific food Ziwi that you give to polecats that you say is good as it's called because I see several cat food and I don't know which one is to take for my ferret
(Mod) water anytime you’re giving kibble or freeze dried raw let it sit for ten minutes ferrets don’t have a thirst drive and the kibble soaks up the liquids and dehydrates them
which option is the best for ferrets? there’s so many different meat options like beef, lamb, chicken. You mentioned trying different ones but which one do you think will be the best out of all of them? I was thinking beef but i’m still not sure
Thank you so much for making such a good video with real information and using facts. I plan on getting 2 ferrets with in a couple of months from now (I'm trying to do as much research as I can and make sure I have enough money saved up before I get the little fur babies) but I wanted to ask, if the ferrets I get have been kibble fed, how would you recommend switching to the Ziwi Peak freeze dried food? Should I just introduce a little at a time and slowly add more over time?
Our Trinket is 15 weeks old, brought home from Pet Land. I want to transition to a raw diet to get him off of Marshall's kibble. Is bone meal powder from Kal ok to use?
Pazuandfriends thank youu, and also I found ziwipeak on my amazon for around £13 (in the uk) and it’s the official stuff, but you mentioned that it’s expensive? I’m just a little confused :’)
(Mod) sorry no the way ferrets digest raw is different from the way they digest kibble and you would be hurting their digestive systems because you keep switching them back and forth
Hi! How much of the ziwi should I be feeding for two 10-12 week kits? Also how many different flavors should I buy and how should I alternate them during the week?
None of those kinds they all have the apple pumice which she advised can cause bladder stones. Get the regular ones like Beef, Lamb and Mackeral, Venison, Lamb, you can also mix any of this with Chicken which is higher in fat content so I wouldn't just feed chicken on it's own. And cat food only for the Taurine.
Hey bryn 🐾 I’ve been feeding feline natural and ziwi peak 1/2 and 1/2 . I’ve been binge watching your videos and just saw this, as you recommended ziwi peak in water….do you think I should separate the two foods?? Just pick one? Idk 🤷♀️ I want to give them the best diet but can’t ultimately go raw. I also give dehydrated chicken and beef liver as treats, (egg to my one who will eat it…). Thanks for any advice. You’ve changed my ferrets lives a lot.
Thank you for educating me! I’m definitely going to try to transition my ferrets over to this food. They are currently on very unhealthy kibble and wysong freeze dry raw. Should I switch their freeze dry raw as well? We have already stocked up on a couple other brands to try.
Thanks for posting this video it's very informative! I was wondering if you could please do a video on treats and enrichment? I'd love to get something like an antler chew or bone chew for a ferret. I currently don't own one because I want to do as much research as I can before I do. I'm also actually asking veterinarians for advice also. Edit, I was also wondering if there's any home made treats I could make also.
Hey we bought Orijen for our ferret that had built up gas it seems like it worked really well for the 1st ferret she lively she really energetic and happy but the 2nd one started to feel unwell n started to feel really tired n threw up just today we r suspecting the food but my couisn suspected the treat we give them (its a salmon oil supplement) but we r waiting to see if he gets well tomorrow with the same food but no oil and if not we r going back to the original diet for him to see if he will get better
How can a Change my ferret from a dry food to the Ziwi’s food? Should i start by mixing some of the kibble and the ziwi’s food? And also my ferret is only 3 months so I was wondering if she would be able to eat it, since some people say it’s really hard.

Is the lamb and macaral good?
Should I give them the cat food ziwipeak or the dog food ziwipeak
I noticed theres a few differences in ingredients on bags u rated not sure if sunflower oil is ok for ferrets k9 feline
Thank you for the good answers
There isn't any link between msg and cancer for humans, where did you hear there was?
OMG THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS! I’m adopting a 3 year old ferret this week. Technically I’m saving her. Poor babies never been taken to the vet, desexed, vaccinated, descented, and they say they only take her out of her small cage every 2 days:( she’s also never been bathed or nails been clipped. 😭😭 I cant wait to care for her!!
I recommend not bathing her at all! If you want to bathe her the best way is to do an oat soak!
[Mod] nice job saving her. ferrets only need to take a bath 1-2 times a year. Unless the ferret is noticeably dirty, I’d avoid giving them a bath. And give them some time to settle. Too much stress isn’t good!
@@maxabdin2655 no you dont maybe once every year, maybe
i’m so glad you are rescuing your ferret this comment warmed my heart so much❤️ sending love to you and your soon to be ferret
How did it go!? I hope she settled in well :D Please do consider raw food though, she will appreciate it
This will be useful for alot if people who cant afford a raw diet at the moment
It’s surprisingly cheap! If you go to your local meat butcher shops you can get the organs and other part for a good price.
It's actually more expensive then raw . Raw is very affordable
@Star Dog yea! If you ask the people Who cut the meat if they have any spare parts that they are planning on throwing away they’ll probably give it to you for a low price
Wait do we have to do a raw diet for them like forced them or soemthing because idk my moms says I can’t-
@@katiequispe1532 no you don’t have too, if not look into higher end dry food such as the ones she listed:)
EDIT- They only ship to the USA :-( ALSO I accidentally skipped right over BEEF LIVER in the ZIWI ingredient list, my bad!
Almost 9k!
HIIIIIIIY
Is there a good alternative that’s less expensive? I would love to get this stuff but I just can’t afford it
fannypack [Mod] this is the kibble this channel recommends. Bryn does have a ferret kibble chart which is found on her blog.
It’s in some pet stores in Canada too
Thank you for this I was planning to feed ziwi peak while I still live with my parents who wont let me feed raw but I still had some questions about it and you've just answered all of them❤
This was supposed to be a best kibble video not a praise/hate vide
Am I the only one that watches these and don’t even plan on getting ferrets.... 😂
GatchaLove Lana NOPE😂😂😂
Definitely good information for any owner of a carnivore
I own Ferrets... I also watch a Hamster channel and have ZERO interest in owning hamsters... yet i watch the channel, go figure.
I'm sure it's much more then 2 people but for me no I am planning on getting one
Mmm I think you alone
Thank you for keeping us up to day bc everyone told me wysong im gonna switch to ziwi!0
If you CAN afford the ziwi peak how often should you feed the dry food? Also which kind do I get

Is the dried apple pomace or the Inulin from Chicory in the Ziwi bad for ferrets, I am trying to pick a food to get them off marshalls and I am SO confused. please help !!
Get the ones without apple pumice. So just the plain ones like, Mackeral and Lamb, Beef, Lamb, Venison. Cat food version only.
So if you do feed this to your ferret about how much of it should you give to them each day? And can you at some pieces of raw meat in it?
Well you don't really need to add more meat but you can. You should add water with a rmb and egg (not egg every day 1-2 a week)
If your going to add bones to your ferrets dry food diet. How do you suggest doing that? Buying like straight bone? I want to get the kiwi peak beef cat food for my ferret and add bones so they get all the nutrients but I’m unsure how to add it.
Could you make a video on which flavor is best from ziwi peak ? That would be great
Does the flavor matter????????

What is the best dry food for ferrets that will be in there cage 24/7 as a second food if there hungry as we will feed them raw meat
Your ferrets shouldn’t be in a cage 24/7, that’s improper care.

Thank u for macking this vid

I would also feed dry food so a nuther big thanks xx
i really want to buy this brand and also give my future ferrets RMB but is there a min or max you can give them a week? Also which one in your opinion is the best? And where would i get it?
Help so much infomation. I need Feed your ferret for Dummies! Is this in a nut shell what you are referring to so know exact;y what to order? Ziwi Peak Air-Dried Mackerel & Lamb Recipe Cat Food?
What store can you buy ziti peak from?
I'm not sure if the sell them at stores but you can buy them online
So I would buy the Ziwi peak cat food? When I first got my ferret the pet store stressed I don’t feed them cat food, I just want to make sure I order the right stuff.
What ziwipeak I get the one for dogs or cats? For my ferrets
The name of the specific food Ziwi that you give to polecats that you say is good as it's called because I see several cat food and I don't know which one is to take for my ferret
Which of these foods from this ziwipets company is the best for my ferret
With this food for u give it dry or would u add water? Sorry if it's obvious I'm just trying to educate myself ☺
(Mod) water anytime you’re giving kibble or freeze dried raw let it sit for ten minutes ferrets don’t have a thirst drive and the kibble soaks up the liquids and dehydrates them
which option is the best for ferrets? there’s so many different meat options like beef, lamb, chicken. You mentioned trying different ones but which one do you think will be the best out of all of them? I was thinking beef but i’m still not sure
So ziwi peak?
Thank you so much for making such a good video with real information and using facts. I plan on getting 2 ferrets with in a couple of months from now (I'm trying to do as much research as I can and make sure I have enough money saved up before I get the little fur babies) but I wanted to ask, if the ferrets I get have been kibble fed, how would you recommend switching to the Ziwi Peak freeze dried food? Should I just introduce a little at a time and slowly add more over time?
Umm is there a ferret option or do I feed them the cat one cause I’m not watching all of that vid
Our Trinket is 15 weeks old, brought home from Pet Land. I want to transition to a raw diet to get him off of Marshall's kibble. Is bone meal powder from Kal ok to use?
If on a kibble diet, is ziwi fed alongside it, or just strictly alone? xx
It can be fed alone :)
Pazuandfriends thank youu, and also I found ziwipeak on my amazon for around £13 (in the uk) and it’s the official stuff, but you mentioned that it’s expensive? I’m just a little confused :’)
Which one
Is it good to go back and forth between raw diet and dry food.
(Mod) sorry no the way ferrets digest raw is different from the way they digest kibble and you would be hurting their digestive systems because you keep switching them back and forth
@@ferretsofthegalaxy2704 ok thanks
Yay early!
Hi! How much of the ziwi should I be feeding for two 10-12 week kits? Also how many different flavors should I buy and how should I alternate them during the week?
That Ziwi food is awesome - thanks for the tip !
So if I buy the ziwi peak would I buy the cats mackerel and lamb?
I have two questions first you get it from the cat section right? And second which kind East Cape, Otago Valley, or Hauraki Plains?
None of those kinds they all have the apple pumice which she advised can cause bladder stones. Get the regular ones like Beef, Lamb and Mackeral, Venison, Lamb, you can also mix any of this with Chicken which is higher in fat content so I wouldn't just feed chicken on it's own. And cat food only for the Taurine.
Should you only buy the lamb one or can you buy like the chicken one or something?
The beef air dried cat food
What about burgess is that good or no
Such grate facts I'm totally using your tips😀❤❤
Hey bryn 🐾 I’ve been feeding feline natural and ziwi peak 1/2 and 1/2 . I’ve been binge watching your videos and just saw this, as you recommended ziwi peak in water….do you think I should separate the two foods?? Just pick one? Idk 🤷♀️ I want to give them the best diet but can’t ultimately go raw. I also give dehydrated chicken and beef liver as treats, (egg to my one who will eat it…). Thanks for any advice. You’ve changed my ferrets lives a lot.
I had a hard time finding the right food to feed.
I'm trying wild harvest and the bulk of the diet is blue buffalo Kitten food.
Do NOT feed wild harvest.
Thank you for educating me! I’m definitely going to try to transition my ferrets over to this food. They are currently on very unhealthy kibble and wysong freeze dry raw. Should I switch their freeze dry raw as well? We have already stocked up on a couple other brands to try.
(Mod) the wysong brand freeze dried raw contains vegetables so yes I would change it
Ferrets of the Galaxy thank you! I’ll do more research on the healthiest brand
Is origin cat food ok for ferrets?
Thanks for posting this video it's very informative! I was wondering if you could please do a video on treats and enrichment? I'd love to get something like an antler chew or bone chew for a ferret. I currently don't own one because I want to do as much research as I can before I do. I'm also actually asking veterinarians for advice also.
Edit, I was also wondering if there's any home made treats I could make also.
My ferret doesnt like the ZiwiPeak kibble, and now im stuck on what to feed him.
So do I give my ferret kiwi peak cats food?
Hey we bought Orijen for our ferret that had built up gas it seems like it worked really well for the 1st ferret she lively she really energetic and happy but the 2nd one started to feel unwell n started to feel really tired n threw up just today we r suspecting the food but my couisn suspected the treat we give them (its a salmon oil supplement) but we r waiting to see if he gets well tomorrow with the same food but no oil and if not we r going back to the original diet for him to see if he will get better
Orijen has peas in it unfortunately which is linked to kidney stones.
@@rachelw3548 oof,
Do u have any suggestions?
i am so confused :/ idk what to do ..
Hi can I feed my ferret any ziwi peak I’m feeding Orijen at the moment is that a good food
How can a Change my ferret from a dry food to the Ziwi’s food? Should i start by mixing some of the kibble and the ziwi’s food? And also my ferret is only 3 months so I was wondering if she would be able to eat it, since some people say it’s really hard.
if the food is too hard for your ferret you could try blending it up with water!!
So, to get this straight, the Ziwipeak pack is the cat food right?
