food question

[Deleted]

Hi everyone -

I have not posted to the ferret board in a long time but am looking for some advice. I have a 5 year old male ferret who has stopped eating his kibble. Has anyone used the 8 in 1 ultimate ferret diet soft? I picked some up and Mr Stanley is LOVING it. I can not get him to the vet until next week but I wanted to make sure I was not doing him any harm by giving him this food. I tried to make the homemade soft food but he turns his nose up at it.

Thanks

I read a post while we were still an MSN group and I remember someone saying they used it. Plus when I was getting present for my giving tree ferret, one of the shelters requested that for their older ferrets.

I wonder if there is a problem though, for him to just suddenly stop eating his kibble. Maybe there is a problem with his mouth of teeth. You might take him to the vet to have him checked out to be sure

I use 8 in 1 Ulitimate soft & moist ferret diet as a treat only with no trouble I have taken in a couple ferrets that have never had duck soup in there life the trick is to rub on there gums and soon there eating it
