Ferrets With Fresh Feeder Mice -WARNING GRAPHIC WHOLE PREY FEEDING
Like 2 Dislike 0 Published on 30 Oct 2017
First of all, I do NOT feed live. I either feed frozen or some of my own humanely euthanized with CO2.
Last August I started breeding my own mice. During the process of setting up my colonies I did have to euthanize a few for whatever reason(aggression even when purchased from the same group, aggression to me etc). I noticed a huge difference between those mice, and ones I raised myself. Both in their own health as well as the...way the ferrets go for it. They very much prefer the mice I bred and raised over purchased frozen or from culls purchased.
The mice are raised on fresh foods, lab blocks, and a mixed food I put together with mixed seeds, oats, a few types of rice, with very low grains fruit and nuts, and a bit of Spirulina so I know they’re getting all their vitamins and minerals even if picky.
They’re in terrific condition. To top it off, they’re clean, and well cared for.
