How cute are your babies...!! As I am embarking on my journey to be a ferret owner, your videos have been very helpful and enlightening. I'm trying to gather all the knowledge and information I can about their habitat, maintenance, interaction and overall health. So look forward to hearing from me alot as I have lots of questions and concerns. Of course I won't overwhelm you all at once. However pertaining to this video did you wean completely from kibble or do you still incorporate it into the raw food diet?
Isn't heart the same as 'muscle meat'? As it's a muscle organ.
yes but heart is necessary for the taurine, because its constantly being used, and thats what makes taurine in muscles.
Gizzard is a part of the bird that they us to help digest food, they swallow small rocks.
Ehh... Kind of. A gizzard is a secertory muscular part of the chickens stomach. It isn't a separate pouch of its own.
i buy a packet of hearts, packet of necks, packet of kidneys and a packet of chicken breasts. I freeze them and in the morning i defrost and feed so i can follow the diet without waste.
Hornet Games where do u buy them?
gizzard is the stomach of an owl it can digest hair and meat is also the reason owls do not poop ......
Yep! Many animals have gizzards though, not just owls
What the hell...
Gizzard is the red part on top of the head.
Stormy Kitten that is incorrect. It’s part of the digestive tract.
@@ardenvecchionecourant8196 Thank you?
If you want more information there's a facebook site called Holistic Ferrets, it's international. There's LOTS of guidance on there for raw feeders.
I enjoy her video, and her explanation of feeding raw. However, Ferrets need all of those meats in a weeks worth of food. This is why the specialized diet is so important. You cannot just feed a ferret all muscle meat one week, and all organs the next. That schedule allows for all the proper nutrients within the week of feeding. If you do more research, plenty of seasoned ferret owners agree. It’s just unhealthy for the ferrets to give them only necks every day until the package is finished. They need bones, organs, heart, and muscle meat all within a weeks span, for a specific amount of meals for each protein type.
Furthermore, a lot of ferret owners agree that feeding live is a bad idea, however a lot dont. It’s all up to you. I don’t condone it, however it’s not animal cruelty. If you eat meat that is by a large industrial brand such as Tyson or Nature’s Farm, than you’re eating a heavily abused animal, cornered and raised for livestock. We can’t be hypocrites when it comes to the nutrition of our animals.
Gizzard - noun
a muscular, thick-walled part of a bird's stomach for grinding food, typically with grit.
a muscular stomach of some fish, insects, molluscs, and other invertebrates.
Oh well, I don't mind
Thank you so much I'm getting a ferret in 5 days and I've watched so many videos and even googled it and your video is the only one that is in details and I can finally get how the raw diet works thanks
I appreciate your concern :) However I have done lots of research on this before getting on the detox. I'll be honest with you ok? I had lumps on my cervix for a few years and a doctor told me that it could eventually lead to cervical cancer. Nothing previously got rid of the lumps but just from being on this juice fast for 20 days has shown a considerable reduction, nearly gone. Results speak for themselves :) Many more stories like this and better out there. Diet is the key to health :)
One of my new ferrets has cystinuria, a genetic defect in the kidney that formed a 1.1cm x 0.7 cm stone in his bladder due to bad quality food (too much grain) Your video made it clear a raw diet seems like the best way to go. Thank you so much for all the great information!
How do I make the raw diet "balanced"?
could you just feed youur ferret raw meat right when you get it
Edible burn?
Bone
a lot stores that sell stuff for small animals will have a registration section for ferret raw food diet 😉
Scott Michalowski she is Australian I'm English
Edible Bone
lol love her accent!!
Your story about Sammy's insulinoma and then going raw, Inspired me to change my own ferret's diet..... thanks you so much.... I too joined Holistic Ferret's and am in the process of transitioning them over..... after only 2 1/2 weeks I notice a difference in them... it is AMAZING..... anyways.... Thanks... Love what you do....
Denett DelTedesco can u help me how can i transition my fur babies into a raw diet. I’m searching all over the place about the raw diet but it is a little confusing for me , also I’m afraid that many food isn’t available in my are and it just seems so hard what to give them every day . What did you started with first when transitioning to raw food and what was the food you’re making for your ferrets. Let’s say Monday chicken and hearts , Tuesday something else etc .. it’s just so confusing for me so far they’re on kibble and I make my own chicken , turkey and beef soupies and they love it . I just know that I need to switch them on the raw food cause is best for their health. Thx
It's funny you mention that, the English expressions about giving dogs bones comes from well... doing exactly that. The risk of bone obstruction is absolutely minimal as raw bone breaks off cleanly, but a certain element of risk does come into play when you let them dry out or become brittle from cooking.
If your ferrets happen to fight over food and literally inhale their bone-meals, that's where you need to be worried. Otherwise, it's completely safe.
Hi !!! I need help my Ferret is still a baby about 6month and i did put her on a reaw diet at night from the start!!! But she stop eating the meat just like that after a few weeks/month !!! I fead her everyrhing ...chicken feet chicken boeuf hearts liver ect.... but she dosent eat anymore she just waits in the morning to eat her kibbles!!! What should i do ? Oh the only thing she LOVES is eggs i even tried rubbing egg on the meat !
How do you get them off kibble. I have tried even wet food just to see if they would and they won't eat it. They have imprinted on the kibble. I'm in USA fyi. Thanks so much
Krystine Quick did you figure out how?
I commented this 5 yrs ago.... both my babies passed
Krystine Quick thats sad :(
Do you use organic meats or gmo meats?
Could I possibly just feed my ferret mice for breakfast lunch and dinner since it has a lot of all the varieties of nutrients in it.
Dominick Young No, ferrets need variety. They need a minimum of 4 different meats per week.
a gizzard is a small golf ball sized part of the digestive system in right after the esofagus snd right befor the stomic it contsins is the used to grind up grains and corns. thats why chikens eat rocks sometimes tin the gizzared to help with digestion
The gizzard is located in the throat of most birds. It frequently contains small stones and enzymes, and does the basic food grinding that is performed by the teeth in animals with teeth.
When you go to the grocery store you can ask them for gizzards if you don't see them packaged cuz when I go to grocery store sometimes about chicken gizzards that have hearts in it cuz sometimes I fry those and it's on myself so if you want to get them for your ferrets you could do that
Vet time in January my ferrets first vet visset with me my ferrets she is almost two I got her when she was one so her outher vet check up was with her previous owner
i have feed my ferrets raw meat since 2005 and thye are really healty , they get all types of raw meat but right now they are eating a raw minced dog food witch contain liver,boiled egges chicken ,salmon , green tripe , it also have vitamines and minerals added .when it comes to feeding live animals i have had my ferrets hunting micen in barns and stables and the record is 25+ mice in under 10 minutes . Compared to cats ferrets kill em really quick so there are no suffering for em
Your videos are absolutely the best!! Really look forward to them!
The Holistic Ferret Forum is amazing also- highly recommend it to every Ferrent! They have helped me so much!
Oh and I'm feeding a raw diet my 3 months old ferret with muscle+heart+powdered eggshell mix and since she spits out liver (she just stopped liking it) I give her a quail egg twice a week for vitamin D and A. She feels amazing.
thank you! I plan on starting my 2 guys on a raw diet.. this helps ! :) i have a pair of pet rats and instead of parting them (male\female. still not quite reached sexual maturity) breed for feed and freeze pinkies..they will be healthier as my babies (rats) are fed an enormous variety of fresh food and meat daily. pro side of that! now will my ferrets like them? time will tell, however, pepper my female ferret decided to take a taste for herself one day and gotten a hold of my rats tail. oops!!! (don't worry, rat is ok) but there's no doubt in my mind. she'll fancy a rat now and then lol and of course chicken and mince, egg etc will be offered as well. fatty mcgee loves raw egg! again ty for the info. fingers crossed for healthier feedings! cheers!
gizzard is the bit found in a bag inside the chicken with the neck and liver , the organ is hard muscle that crushes the seeds they eat
Your Vid are Most Helpful For My Little Girl ( Daisy Lue ) ! Keep on making Videos Please!!!!
A gizzard is a secertory muscular part of the chickens stomach. It isn't a separate pouch of its own.
Can you give them cooked meats (and fat) as well as raw meat?
Love the video!
Oh and Gizzard is an organ in a bird that has a very sandpapery inner lining and grinds up the food.
Ehh... Kind of. A gizzard is a secertory muscular part of the chickens stomach. It isn't a separate pouch of its own.
I need help. Can I feed my ferret dry food, then gradually take away the dry and add in the raw meat?
Her normal food got recalled, and she isn't liking her new dry food.
Why did it get recalled?
Thank you.
what do they eat while your at work? do you leave the meat out?
Aaaaaahhhh awesome! Thank you so much! haha Feeling enlightened now :D
Gizzards are the second stomach in an owl that packs the fur and bones of a previous meal into a pellet. It's probably diffrent in other birds.
Thank you so much for all of your videos you helped me and my little girl out every much
Thank you so much for posting this! I was struggling to find out what classed as what for my future fuzz butt's diet! You have mad my menu planning 1000000000% easier! :D
gizzards are the gravel holders in birds that help them digest food
I usually chuck my boys some frozen chicks (obviously defrosted before hand) a few times a week as well as the odd bit of chicken/liver or what ever i can get from the butcher for free that there going to chuck out. but as soon as i get a bigger freezer i will probably put them on a 100% raw food diet. I do think it would be easier to just feed them a selection of full foods like the Chicks/Rats/Mice etc that splitting it up.
Gizzard is a pouch that help a bird predigest their food.
Ehh... Kind of. A gizzard is a secertory muscular part of the chickens stomach. It isn't a separate pouch of its own.
As I asked on the facebook, how do you transition a ferret that has been eating kibble over to raw food after they have been on the kibble diet for over a year since weening? I've seen how picky they can be and anything that they are not given during that important part of their early life they won't associate it as food.
I believe gizzard is the part of the bird that breaks up seed and other food that the bird consumes! :)
Gizerd is the red part under the beak of a chicken.
No, the gizzard is an organ in the stomach. However, it’s considered a muscle meat because it doesn’t secrete.
I just got a baby ferret, and I'm now confused. I had asked the pet store vet if I could give her the occasional meat treat or veggie treat, and she said they can only eat kibble. Can they, or can they not, eat things like shrimp?
how did u switch them from kibble to raw mine wont touch the raw food i try to give them an i so badly want them to eat raw
at thanksgiving, christmas, and easter my family always gets the turkey with gizzards and that normally is organ meat like the heart and liver,I would guess its the same for most if not all birds
+Taylor Nelson Wysong is really good. Raw diet is cheaper and better though.
i'm also interested in Transition onto raw diet. Video of your ferrets food from out of the package, into the ferrets, and what is usually left over? Seeing what to look for would be better than just letting them turn their nose up and wait for kibblle. How long do I leave the ferrets eat before tossing the meat in the bin? and, Do you have a cable Ferret TV show in the works? If not, some producer is really missing the boat.
I breed rabbits for shows and I also use some of them for meat, would it be ok if I fed my pet ferret the rabbit leftovers?
Most likely (not a ferret owner or expert) a wild (weasel or polecat) ferret could take down a rabbit double check but I think it would be fine
Brie's Bunny Barn Definitely feel free to feed your pet ferrets rabbit meat.
definatly would be great for them
Would it not be easier to feed whole carcas?
what do you mean by edible bone? is edible bone like chicken drumsticks
Birds have two stomachs: one digests food chemically, just like ours does; and the other has a lot of muscle and combined with swallowed pebbles crushes food to smaller particles (since birds don't have teeth). This stomach is called a gizzard. Is that extensive enough?:D
i really wish i had a ferret i done loads a research on them and chose all their stuff but my mum just doesnt like them any suggestions on how i can change her mind about them and show her how awesome they are?
make a video on how old you have to be to get a ferret
So do you just feed them adult size mice rats ect and then give them bone in food for food wise? Sorry this part is very confusing for me
I have started given Chewie chicken neck bones and chicken heart with kibble
do you ever worry about worms or parasites in the raw meat?
Victoria Peters .
Well, meat is kept in freezers which anything living in it will die..so if it's frozen for 3days, you wash it off before feeding it, your good!
Should the meal plan be changed or adjusted for a kit?
I have a 3 month old ferret I have done lots of research but I don't know if she is to young to eat a raw diet or even if her teeth can chew through bone?
Can I start my baby ferret eating only raw ingredients?
What's a good kibble ? My ferret has been on ferret diet kibble mixed with wet cat food I know this is probably so bad but I'm going to change her diet but I have so many questions ! Can I email anyone ?
really aslong as the cat or ferret food has no vegtibles exspeually corn or fruit it is pretty much fine!
I have some frozen pork chops in my freezer is it ok to give one to my ferret she's a 3 year old female marshal, if so how much should i give her a whole chop, half of one, or less?
What was the health scared you had on your juice fast?
Hi!I had no problem transitioning mine to a raw diet. but he won't touch any of the yummy frozen mice I buy! How did you get your babies to have a taste of the mice? Oh and Chicken legs.. I heard they're okay as long as they're not cooked in any way(we obviously never cook his raw food) I've given him one to test out. He is absolutely CRAZY about it and devoured the bone cartilage meat and skin.Are they ferret safe?Thanks!
would it be a good to feed kibble and raw meat? my ferret is eating a really good cat food and want to get him on a whole raw meat diet but I don't think my family can afford it. your way seems really affordable just let them finish it then buy more.
Wolfie Lps ferrets are pricey animals and if the right diet is our of your price range maybe this isint a pet for you
I'm not hating! I'm getting a ferret soon aswell and I'm 15, which means yes I can get a part time job but my dad will also have to help me out a little.. As you see in the video, the meats are cheap if going to the right place, giving him or her a very high quality cat food thay has ONLY meats (check label) is food mixed in with a raw meat diet or atleast some mice or somthing, if that cat food is not fully just meat your slowly killing your ferret and although he may be happy and healthy, raw meat is very important to live a full life
What I would do is do raw every other day or every third day. Feed kibble one day, then feed raw the next. It makes it really simple. That way you don’t have to worry about balancing it because the kindle does that for you (if you have a good kibble)
Aussie women ROCK!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Possibly dumb question, but I’m considering feeding raw, and I’m worried about intestinal worms? Do you deworm, is it necessary, and if so what do you use?
Good informative video, gave me a clear understanding of diet, one question tho, what quantity of feed per day for female adult, i'm planning using chicken neck, rabbit, pig/ox/lamb liver, any advice would be greatfully recieved😁
John Young I think it depends on how much your ferret eats
Hi. I like your channel. Type in "My ferret, Joey eats Peanut butter" its my ferret being cute
NethermanStudios peanut butter is horrible for ferrets don’t feed them that
I thought you were saying "edible burn" until the end lol I was like...what is burn?
Your babies are so adorable... and your hilarious lol
if u feed kibble and meat can u give meat like chicken beef live every 1 or 2 months?
How much do you pay for all of the meat for 1 week?
How do you potty train a ferret?
what about sometime kibble, mostly meat but now and then kibble?
how many times a day should you feed a ferret raw meet??
oh sorry I posted a question that you answered in the video
Ferret-World I asked my vet about the whole raw diet thing and she said that feeding them raw meat can give them parasites so you should cook the meat in some way. She also said it is extremely difficult to give ferrets all the nutrients they need with an all raw diet and that you should feed a high quality kibble and supplement with meat instead of feeding just the meat. What is your take on this? Has your vet told you something different?
You should change vets , ferrets don't get parasites from human grade meat. Ferrets don't eat cooked meat either.
you've described this all quite beautifully, but I do still have one question. I know now what to be giving them which day, but how MUCH of each raw food to I give them? I have 2 ferrets.. so how much of each the edible bone, muscle meat, and organ meats should I be giving each ferret, or for 2 ferrets?
Doesn't raw chicken have bacteria?
So can you just feed them on an "only mouse" diet? Or is it to keep a variety so they don't get sick of eating the same thing?
Do you find that the raw diet helps with their smell?
Where in the US lamb heart isn't a available can pork heart be used in place
Luca Ciocca it can be any heart like chicken turkey pork duck
I'm just startin to get my ferrets onto a raw diet but if all goes well do I just keep toppin the food up as I was unsure how much to giv em? I have 3 adult males! so I basically understood from this clip to feed em twice a day preferably after a playtime and just gage wat they eat or can eat until u get it right so theyre not starving or food is goin off
The gizzard is the red flap on the chicken/turkeys face
Hey , im aussie too, can i ask if you use malt paste and where do you get it?
Do you ever give them feeder mice?
Hi. I'm planning on getting a couple ferrets and have been watching videos and doing some research on ferret care beforehand. I would love to include some raw meat in their diet, however iI have one concern. I know with dogs it's quite risky to feed them anything with bones in it due to the potential of the bones obstructing or even puncturing the digestive tract. I was just wondering if ferrets have the same risk associated with the consumption of bones.
lol i heard edible burn lol!!!!!! love your vids!!!:)
how much should I feed my ferret per day?
I feed my ferret whole mouses, rats, hamsters, quails, sprats and rabbits.
Live?
@@shannonl5159 hopefully not
My ferrets were being so loud and playing that i couldnt even hear the video! Im going to start feeding them raw meat but would it be ok if i fed them a small amount of really good ferret food as well? Also one of my fuzzies looks identical to Sammy.
The gizzard is a bird's stomach, its a little different than our stomachs though
Is it ok to feed them whole chicks/rats/mice every day?
Do u still feed them this diet and how is it going?😊
sammy is really really big...in a good way
I know you have the ferret world, but for space reasons, I was wondering if you could take the stand off?
