Food and Water

Your ferret needs fresh water and good food.

Water - you can use either a ceramic crock or a water bottle.

Food bowl - a crock that sets on the floor or one that attaches to the cage is good. There are a lot of choices available for you. Thru this site you can visit the Ferret Store to assist you in your selections.

Your ferret food should be one that is of premium quality. We cannot endorse a ferret food that has chunks of carrots or fruits. Ferrets do not digest high-fibre and thus a digestive problem or blockage can ensue.

Snacks –a grape, a cherrio or two. There are ferret-specific treats on the market. Moderation is good. Ferrets have a “transit-time”  of 3 – 5 hours. Make sure your ferret always has fresh food and a lot of it. A hungry ferret can be a mean ferret, but then again aren’t we all when hungry!
