Hope you like it! Please leave me some feedback, I would love to know if you like it, hate it (and why) or whether there are some improvements to make.

8. HAPPY FEASTER!
Ferrets can eat raw egg yolks up to “I ates it...”
twice a week. Egg whites are said
to cause a biotin deficiency
which can lead to
skin problems and
loss of fur.

Always observe your ferret’s poop to know what is normal for him/her.
This will help you catch any problems that may arise. Here are some
examples of what certain types of poop could potentially mean.
Diarrhoea – food moving through too fast. If green could potentially
mean E.C.E virus, a sudden change in diet or lymphoma etc.
Bloody poop - very bad sign usually from rectum or large bowel. Could be
caused by a haemorrhage. Best to take ferret to the vet.
Grainy poop - could be a sign of body not digesting foods properly eg. fats.
Can also be a sign of disease or a ferret in need of a change
in diet. Monitor and consult a vet if you’re worried.
Black and tarry poop - Usually not a good sign as could be caused by gastric ulcers. However,
this can also normally occur after a ferret has eaten raw meat.
Brown, smooth consistency, not too thin, not runny poop.
– Usually classified as normal ferret poop. www.ferret-world.com
12. As a ferret I am an obligate carnivore which means my body is
designed to digest meat only! I can’t physically produce the
digestive enzymes necessary to digest vegies or fruit.
Therefore, these could potentially cause
an intestinal blockage.
Examples of food that I should eat include:
High quality meat based ferret kibble

18. There are a lot of areas around the world where people believe ferrets to be
wild animals. They believe that if they were to escape they would take out the
native fauna. This is a large misconception as ferrets are completely domestic
animals just like your average cat, dog or cow.
