I have three ferrets, two of which I just adopted last month. I have completely switched my new male over to dehydrated and rehydrated raw, Stella and Chewys, Ziwipeak and AFS, along with my original male, who has been eating this raw since he was 3 months old.
My new female is a huge kibble addict however, and she is not as easy to switch as my other two. She was eating Totally ferret, so when I adopted her I bought a bag. Basically I've gotten her to eat rehydrated Stella and chewy's patties, as long as I mix in some kibble powder. She eats maybe a little over a teaspoon about three times a day, and I dont keep kibble in the cage during the day. How long can she go without kibble if she is eating this raw mix 3 times a day? Ive been leaving kibble in overnight in case she gets hungry, but trying to fill all three up on the raw before I go to sleep. Of course in the morning all the kibble is gone anyway, and I know it isn't just her eating it. I don't want her to starve at night, but I also dont want to raw boys to eat the kibble. Can she go 8+ hours if she is eating the raw mix? Its about 1/3 kibble and the rest is raw. I have not gotten her to eat the dehydrated raw either, which I leave in their bowl in case they get hungry when I'm gone.
