What are ferrets commonly fed?


Ferrets are easy to feed. They are carnivores. Food for ferrets should be high in animal protein, relatively high
in fat, and low in fiber. Appropriate ferret food should be about 35 percent protein, 20 percent or more in fat,
and less than 3 percent fiber. Commercial diets are being formulated, but labels should be checked carefully.
Dry foods are recommended because they keep the ferret's teeth and gums in good condition, cost less than
moist foods, and are easier to feed.
