1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
i first learned about it on ferret harmony 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.
well hes eating kibble now, but i heard that raw is better.. im willing to do whatever is best for my ferret
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet? well i heard they have less health problems and are in overall better health
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 i am
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 one ferret hes
a male, 13 weeks old probably about 11/2 ponds
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc)
i switched him from mazuri ferret food to core wellness cat food.. i also give him ferretvite
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
9. How often during the week do you have access to a computer?
sorry i sent it to early heres to rest of the questions
