Vicky (and furbabies) (:

[relentless]

Hello everyone! My name is Vicky. I'm a 20 year old sophomore in college as an equine studies major with a huge passion for animals. I live in New Jersey and absolutely adore it. I have two 11-12 week old ferrets, Lupe and Bailey. I've only had them for about two weeks now but they have already stolen my heart. They live in a Ferret Nation cage and came to me on Marshalls (ew) but I'm currently in the process of switching them over to Dr. Foster's and Smiths. However, I had to give this forum a second look because the raw/whole prey idea is very intriguing to me and once I learn more about it, will probably give it a shot! So, hi! Pictures below. (:

Hi and welcome to the forum Vicky and furkids
Please take the time to prowl around, ask questions, really explore your questions about diet. We're passionate in what we believe in but friendly and we're more than willing to offer you a helping hand or paw as the case may be They're a really great bunch of people here and they love their little fuzzbutts. Check out the nutritional section. You'll see that it's broken up into sections that makes it easier to research your little ones' diet. Check out the mentoring section, read through some of the switching threads and see what's involved. You have babies....they're just little tummies with teeth. They will readily eat meat, prey....anything that you want to try. By the time they're 9 months they will be imprinted and any changes that you want will take longer and a little more effort. It's all doable at any age or at anytime. Enjoy yourself, have fun on this journey. I hope that I will be seeing and hearing about your little ones escapades
ciao

Hi, Vicki, and welcome! What adorable little munchkins you have there. The youngest I ever got one at was 13 weeks, and she was a terribly easy switch. Especially compared to a couple of the others

yes! These little buggers do indeed steal your heart very quickly! The research I did here is was made me switch my business to raw, everyone here are super nice, very helpful and don't mind tons of questions...I know I've asked my share!

Welcome to the board! I'm from New Jersey (Parsippany) but I moved to St. Louis when I was very young, only a year old. I'm still a Jersey girl at heart though. Like you, I am also a sophomore in college. I'm a pre-veterinary student (majoring in biology). Your little ones are very cute! I hope you enjoy the forum. We are a wonderful community of ferret lovers that are looking to help improve the lives of our ferrets, and our member's ferrets by opening up the world of natural feeding and care to our members. I really do hope you consider raw/whole prey feeding. The health benefits are wonderful.

See you around the board and
