I discuss this at the end of the video but if you don’t want to stick around that long- YES this food is very expensive. You’re paying for quality product and peace of mind. It’s just the way life is- if you want to feed a complete diet that’s healthy with no artificial preservatives, with appropriate meat and organ it’s going to be pricey. They don’t cut corners. I’ve been getting lots of messages asking for cheaper alternatives, this is the only dry food right now that I recommend for ferrets at this point in time. Cheap foods will compromise your ferret’s health.

I'm hoping to adopt a 2 year old ferret soon, poor baby hasnt really been socialised and has been fed Marshals. I live with my parents and they're strict vegetarians. We feed our cats and dogs dried and wet food because we cant really afford a raw diet and we cant access the things we need for it in the little village we live in. I really want to adopt this ferret but I was struggling to find a kibble that made me comfortable with letting my pet eat it. IM SO HAPPY YOU MADE THIS VIDEO!! I can afford Ziwipeak and I cant wait to adopt this poor ferret and convert it onto something that will make it so much healthier🥰🥰

Hey bryn 🐾 I’ve been feeding feline natural and ziwi peak 1/2 and 1/2 . I’ve been binge watching your videos and just saw this, as you recommended ziwi peak in water….do you think I should separate the two foods?? Just pick one? Idk 🤷‍♀️ I want to give them the best diet but can’t ultimately go raw. I also give dehydrated chicken and beef liver as treats, (egg to my one who will eat it…). Thanks for any advice. You’ve changed my ferrets lives a lot.

I love you and your ferrets!! Who agrees?

Hi! How much of the ziwi should I be feeding for two 10-12 week kits? Also how many different flavors should I buy and how should I alternate them during the week?

Hi I love ur videos so much i have learned so much from u and ur videos i have been watching ur ferret care videos and i was wondering after u discussed the different ferrets u can get but can u house a standards Marshall ferret or just a regular ferret with a polecat hybrid or the other ferret breed?

So I’m happy that you posted this I might be late lol but I just recused my two ferrets from a horrible family. So I kinda just got thrown them and didn’t have time to figure it out, thank god I got a check to pay for a nation cage and other things for them like bowls and toys but at the moment I am ferret proofing my room so they can be free to walk around my bedroom is sadly all I can give bec I do not live alone and I do have cats, the cats do go in another room while they are out I know that lol they would kill each other, anyways I really thought I should say thank you for making this hole thing easier on me

No,she doesn't even promote wysong because of the ingredients she made a video when she was talking about that food. She does have a discord if you have anymore questions about ferret food. Someone is mostly to answer.

When you say serve it in water, what exactly do you mean by this? Should it be like a cereal situation where there isnt like a super large amount of water? Or should there be more water than the dry food in the food to water ratio? I just am curious for a better idea as i don't want to oversaturate the food if I don't have to to avoid messes as I am renting, but I also don't want to dehydrate my ferrets.

*adds to cart*

My husband and I were given a ferret by a acquaintance, we are pretty sure it is a Marshal ferret. Our question is where do we find non Marshal ferrets? We don't have a ferret rescue close to us only the pet store selling Marshal babies for like $400.00 I would live to resume them all.. 😡 I had already heard some of the horror stories about Marshals... Anyway, we love your videos very informative, and your frequent surprise guests (ferret babies) make it so entertaining.. 😊

@firecrystal13

Hi there, you can tell if it’s a Marshall’s ferret because your ferret will usually have a dot tattooed in between their feet or somewhere on their ear. If you’re in the US, it’s near impossible to find a non Marshal’s ferret . They basically have a monopoly on ferrets in the USA because When they ship them to pet stores, they are already spayed/neutered. Maybe you can find a non Marshall’s ferret if they are imported from Europe or another country, but I’m not sure if there are restrictions on importing them. 🤷‍♀️

I have a few questions when you say feed Ziwi in water do you mean like add water in the kibble/food and like let it soak or something? And could I have a feeding schedule? Like I know tons of people will say you should always have kibble available for your ferret but is it ok if I only feed him ziwi twice or three times a day?

She means blending the food with water

Hi, I have owned ferrets for 10 years in the UK. The diet in the books recommend 25 percent carbohydrates. I then focused on looking at the Black Footed Ferret conservation KZread videos for appropriate food and found rat, chicken, mice, was the best, supplements with 2 tsp of kibble. We could only access Orijen from Germany and Wysong was not available for years. Origen is now sold at Pets at Home for cats and kittens. I also feed egg yolk, removing the white as that does not contain protein. Can you suggest portion sizes per ferret. I have had 3 jills weighing 700g. 4 hobs weighing between 1.4 and 1.6kg and fed the following when hungry. Hobs 2 mice small per day Jills 2 pinkies. Chicken wings raw with bone and skin. Egg yolk once a week. Kibble 2 tsp per ferret each day and they are fed in a feeder cage so they do not stuff and stash inside my sofa. Lol! Any new tips would be appreciated. We still had cancer, AD, DCM in all of our ferrets. I was wondering if diet or neutering are concerns relating to cancers at aged 6 upwards. This is our story. Many thanks Amanda and the M7. mustalideafamliea.weebly.com/

omg I'm early

How much water would you add to it? I know it’s just a stupid question but I’m thinking about getting ferrets and wouldn’t want to add too much or too little water to it

could i hydrate the ziwipeak with bone broth? also, could i mix it with my kibble cause my ferret is picky

Ok so I might get one idk yet how many times a day do you need to feed them and bath them I'm new to a pet like a ferrets

This is what’s so annoying! I was trying to adopt ferrets for WEEKS from my local ferret rescue and the lady wouldn’t even talk to me unless I bough Wysongs food and sent her a picture of it to prove that that’s what I was going to feed them. She then continued to ignore me for days at a time and tell me that all the new ferrets they had were already adopted the second she posted about them being available.

I have two questions first you get it from the cat section right? And second which kind East Cape, Otago Valley, or Hauraki Plains?

@CristalFrost

None of those kinds they all have the apple pumice which she advised can cause bladder stones. Get the regular ones like Beef, Lamb and Mackeral, Venison, Lamb, you can also mix any of this with Chicken which is higher in fat content so I wouldn't just feed chicken on it's own. And cat food only for the Taurine.

how much does this would cost and also is it like for ferrets or is there like a cat and dog food that you can give them

I’ve been using Blue wilderness, and I’ve heard that it can work for ferrets, but I have been giving RMB every other week. is this a fine diet-? (I also give one egg yolk a week.)

hello! This doesn’t really relate to the video, but how many litter boxes do you have outside of their cages?
