1. Where did you first learn about natural diets for ferrets?
I have been researching the best diet to feed my pets from the time we got our first little boy.
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 type of diet I would like to have them on I'm just sure that what they are eating is not that good for themand I want to keep them arround as long as possible
3. Why are you interested in switching your ferrets to a natural diet?
I want them to have a long healthy life
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?
no life canges comming up I am willing to take the extra time to get them swiched over after all the time spent now could save me time money and heartache later if they get sick
5. How many ferrets do you currently have? What are their names? Ages? Genders? Do they have any health problems? Are they overweight? Underweight?
3
Chloie 1 year 6 months female
Houdini 11 months
Bandit 6 months
6. What diet do you currently feed your ferrets? (Please include all treats, supplements, etc)
Marshalls (what they came on)
8 in 1 ultimate (trying to swich them to this as it is the best kibble avalible at local stores)
treats: n-bone ferritone
7. Have you ever tried to switch your ferrets to a natural diet in the past? If yes, what happened?
no these guys are pretty new and the last time I had one it was years ago and did not know as much about them
8. What additional information about yourself or your ferrets would you like to share?
I am a mother of 3 and my kids think that they each have a pet although they are really all mine they each got to name one though. I would not mind a raw diet but a live diet would bother my 2 girls they would feel sorry for the little mice
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).
my photos are not on this computer but I will try to add them later
