Hey all, firstly I am The Slaves mate, so thats why I will be using her laptop (i dont have my own).
Anyway - I am a 15 Y/O guy and have had ferrets since I was 12. I am pretty addicted to natural things for my ferts (Thanks to M [the slave]!!). I had alot of troubles with them to eat raw at first as they were rescued-orphaned wild polecats, I got them at about 12 weeks old so they grew up friendly with humans, but they were fed on kibble so refused raw at first but we got there - after 8 months!
I try to keep they're lives as natural as possible wich includes:
30ft x 26-ish ft enclosure covering the whole garden including warrens for sleeping, trees (I conreted about 1.5ft x 1.5 ft "tubs" underground so they dont grow too big), log walks, tunnels, ponds with fish (I often find 1 or 2 missing if I am late for feeding time
) etc
I mostly rely on natural remedies and methods for keeping my boys healthy (I make up natural shampoos, skin conditoners, flea/tick repllelents etc) unless they need the vets, they dont really go. The only times they have been is for a vaccine.
They get purely raw/whole prey foods and dont get processed supplements, vitamins and so on.
Anyway, hope I can learn some more and help some people here. Later!

) so I might be able to snap some pics, and will try get one of them together for colour comparison (1 is ALOT darker then the other) although its unlikely lol.
