1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
I learned about it for dogs first when researching the healthiest foods. Somehow from there I came across this site.
2. Please describe the type of diet you would like assistance in switching your ferret(s) to. Be sure to include if you are interested in feeding whole prey (live or frozen-thawed) and if you are wanting to FULLY switch to a natural diet or PARTIALLY. If you are unsure what kind of diet you want to put your ferrets on, please express that and we can help you find the best type of natural diet for your ferret.
I want to do a full switch to a natural diet. I do not want to feed live or frozen prey. I prefer to buy mine from the grocery store.
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
I want the best thing for all of my animals. I want them to live as long as they possibly can with the best quality of life. To me, they are my family.
4. Do you understand that switching your ferret to a natural diet can be a lengthy, arduous process? Its not an overnight switch. It can be a commitment of several weeks or even months. Your HF Mentor will be more then happy to assist you in switchng your ferret(s) to a natural diet, but you need to be equally as commited. If you aren't willing to tough out a potentially lengthy switching process, or if you have major life changes approaching (baby on the way, moving, starting school, getting married/divorced, etc) then it might be a better idea to wait on switching your ferret's diet until you have more time. Are you willing to make the commitment?
100%
5. How many ferrets do you currently have? What are their names? Ages? Genders? Do they have any health problems? Are they overweight? Underweight?
I have two ferrets. They are both female. Neither have health issues. Peekah seems to be a little underweight. She is not as big as her sister and never has been.
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc)
I feed them Zupreem/Totally Ferret mix. They get Ferretone when I clip their nails about once a week. They have about one N-Bone a month.
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
No
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
Im very active in dog rescue and do a lot of traveling since we are a military family.
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
Everyday
10. Please post a picture of each of your ferrets (if possible).
