Special Nutritional Needs
Because ferrets have a rapid gastrointestinal transit time of three to four hours, they require a diet made from high-quality, digestible animal protein sources. ZuPreem Premium Ferret Diet contains highly nutritious nuggets that are more digestible and calorie dense than most commercial or homemade diets.
Feeding Recommendations
Premium Ferret Diet is meant to be your ferret's sole diet. Feed free choice and limit the amount of treats to no more than 20% of your ferret's total diet. Remove old food and replenish with new food daily. Always provide fresh, clean water.
Growing Ferrets
Following weaning, some young ferrets find it easier to wean on to ZuPreem Premium Ferret Diet if it is moistened with warm water until it is soft. During this time, also introduce a few dry nuggets.
Adult Ferrets
Feed ZuPreem Premium Ferret Diet free choice. On average ferrets will consume 1/2 - 3/4 cup of food per day. Adjust the amount of food depending on age, activity, and environment, to maintain optimal body weight without obesity or excessive thinness.
Reproducing Jills
Reproducing jills need significantly more food during certain stages of pregnancy and until the kits are weaned. Make sure your ferret is offered more than she chooses to eat during this time.
