Contents of Ideal Ferret Diet

Lecture Notes

With these requirements in mind, a good ferret food should be high in good-quality animal protein, with a high content of fat, and minimal amounts of carbohydrates, because as we just said, they are not very good at digesting them. Ferrets love treats such as dried meat and eggs. Just as with dogs and cats, these treats should be avoided as much as possible, and they can never represent more than 10% of their diet.
