Pet Ferret Food

Video Transcript

Hi my name is Sarah and on behalf of expertvillage.com I am here at Petland in Pembroke Pines, Florida to educate you a little bit today about caring for your ferret. As far as feeding your ferret goes, you should feed your ferret a high quality ferret diet. Dog and cat foods are not acceptable diets for your ferret. Canned foods do not provide the proper nutrition for a ferret. Kitten food is acceptable but you generally should feed a high quality ferret diet as there are plenty of them out there on the market. Your ferret should have fresh food and water available at all times. It is okay to free-feed a ferret because they have very high metabolisms and burn any calories that they are eating throughout the day. If your ferret becomes obese, it is a good idea to contact your veterinarian as this could be a sign of disease. As far as food and water bowls go, you should use heavy bowls as ferrets will tip over regular bowls. You want to use heavy ceramic crocks for their water or you may choose to use a water bottle. Any bottle water bottled used should be cleaned several times a week with hot soapy water. Food bowls should be heavy also and they should be cleaned daily just like the water bowls. You can get several sets of food and water bowls and run them through the dishwasher every day or every other day or you can wash them by hand every day. As far as treats goes, there are a variety of ferret treats on the market. You generally want to stay away from treats that are very high in sugar as these can cause digestive upset with your ferret. If you would like any more information about the animal hospital that I work at, you can go to www.extracareanimalhospital.net and if you would like anymore information about Petland in Pembroke Pines, you can go to www.petland.com.
