1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?ferret.com forum
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 am unsure what diet to put them on.
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?To make them healthier
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?Yes im very willing. Anything for my fuzzies
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. Tinkerbell 24 weeks,female,no known health issues, Gizmo,almost two yrs old,female,no known health problems,possibly under weight but could just be seasonal change i think
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc)Foster and smith kibble. no treats in last month,was using ferret vite until I figured out it was bad for them
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened? I need to find out from you all how to do that
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?gizmo was a rescue from a little girl that was feeding her 8 in 1 from wal mart. >:(She came to me under nourished and didnt play at all. I switched to f n s kibble and now she plays and is doin better but I want both my fuzzies to be on at least a partial raw diet for their well being
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
Every day
10. Please post a picture of each of your ferrets (if possible).I dunno how yet
