That mushroom thumbnail got me terrified

My ferrets are on a very different diet but ive definitely learned a lot from watching you over the years! I love seeing people putting so much love into their babies

"Bone broth is worth the hype for both humans and people" cause we all know "people" means a bunch of ferrets on top of each other covered in a trench coat ahah love the video, thank you so much for all the info!

So glad your posting again. Your really inspiring

Happy New Year! Thanks for doing an updated video, I’m going to look into everything you listed in this video for my loves. I’m particularly intrigued by the Bragg’s - I drink/cook with their apple cider vinegar myself, and had no idea they were able to process it in their bellies! Thanks for your help with my lengthy emails, sending love from our home to yours 💖

Thanks Amanda! Anytime!! Always happy to help :-)

Can you please show how you prepare their food? That would be great. Apologies if there is a video on that already. I am new to the channel

Would love to see an updated “what I feed my pets in a day” (including iroh too and their snacks as well) Question… when majoring in animal science and nutrition did you always knew you wanted to educate more on online and on ferrets and make a book? Or did you think you wanted to work in an animal clinic or with a private practice?

Sure!! & It was because of my adoration of all things ferret that I became a certified pet nutritionist. I don't particularly want to work at a clinic (they usually only hire vets/vet tech/reception anyway) because it's such a stressful environment. I would however love to open up my own natural pet food/health store :) One can dream, lol.

Scratch my last question about what my wife and I should feed our sweet "Buddy" in one of your other videos (15 things on what not to Feed your Ferret) 🤦🏼 I didn't see this video til now. We're new to your channel so it's gonna take a while to learn where to go to get some of our questions answered lol. Thanks for making this! We Homeschool all our kids so this is actually a great Educational video for them 🤔🙂 Our oldest Daughter Breanna is graduating this year! ❤️

I plan on feeding Frankenprey because it seems most cost affective could I feed grind once or twice a week in place of a raw meaty bone meal to provide more variety

Okay, so I see there is a book link provided. My ferret has been living on Intune ferret kibble and duk soup for some years now. He has cancer growing on his gums and has mass cell tumors on his neck, was licking up his pee, I assumed he was deficient in something when I saw him continuously doing that. He’s an older ferret, I love him very much. He’s my survivor. I left a few comments now, just looking for answers, and fast. I also live in New York.

How much/how often do you give mushrooms?

Hi i am wanting to feed my ferret whole prey like mice and stuff i just want to know how to do it so can you make a video about it ?

Would this help them gain weight? Mine does not seem to want to eat a ton and I would really like to see him gain a bit more!

how often do you use the supplements? Is it a daily thing you do or every other day for break between supplements? That's the one thing I struggle with to add in for my animals.

It depends on what it is. Like they only need the vitamin e oil every couple days, whereas the mushrooms can be given daily. I watch their poops though since they don't need a ton of fiber. I'm pretty lax with them all unless they get sick and need them consistently :)

I have a question ❓ I have dig boxes filled with organic coconut fiber soil for my fancy rats. Would this be safe for my ferrets. Thay love to dig. I was hopping for a new form of inritchment as we're snowed in.

My ferrets been shedding early this year do you have any tips on brushes or anything to help remove the hair? I feed him egg 1 a week when he’s not shedding with salmon oil but during shedding season I feed him 2 eggs a week. hairballs absolutely scare me the first time he shed I almost had an emergency but he pooped it out 💪 I do brush him 2-4 times a day with like a cat metal brush but not sure if there’s any you recommend?

I feed fdr and raw mix..mine love beef liver chicken livers..eggs are amazing and all of my noodles love them..I also use salmon oil which they also love..my biggest concern is hearts..mine will not eat hearts...is there a supplement that would help them with the nutrients that hearts give?

We mainly feed hearts for taurine, you can supplement with powdered taurine, though hearts are still a great source of nutrition for ferrets. Have you tried freeze dried hearts? Or chopping them up really small and mixing into the food? They don't need a whole ton of it to meet requirements.
