A perfect blend of ingredients has been selected to ensure ferrets getthe right balance of proteins, oils, vitamins and minerals. SelectiveFerret can help to reduce pet odours, and with extra linseed and Taurine, Selective helps keep eyes, coats and bodies healthy ?C inside and out.
But it is what we don??t put in to Selective that is important too??
Have you checked the label on your ferrets?? food lately? Take a look,because some foods contain molasses or syrup or other sugaryingredients.This extra sugar in a ferret??s diet can lead to overeatingand obesity. It can also lead to dental problems too. Because ferretshave a very short digestive tract, they need a diet that is very high inprotein and low in fibre. Selective has 36% protein and very low fibrelevels at just 2%.
Specialist vet Molly Varga says ??Ferrets are increasingly popular as pets in the UK, and have been kept as working animals for many years. Weknow that they have high protein requirements and they are often called??Supercarnivores?? for that reason. As a vet who treats ferrets I needto be able to recommend a suitable food for my patients. With is high protein levels, lack of added sugar and palatable formulation, Supreme Ferret Food fulfils that criteria.??
Feeding Selective for the first time?
If you are feeding Selective to your ferrets for the first time, make sure you change from one food to another, gradually over 7-10 days. Atfirst, you should mix a small amount of Selective with your ferrets?? current food, slowly decreasing the old diet, whilst graduallyincreasing the quantity of Selective. A sudden change in diet can causedigestive upsets ?C even when you are changing to a better quality diet so take care!
If your ferrets are used to a sugary diet, you may find it takes them a while to change, but persevere as it will help to benefit your ferrets?? health in the long term. And don??t forget fresh water! Your ferrets should have an unlimited supply at all times.

Ferrets make great pets!
They??re very inquisitive and sociable as well as being playful and intelligent!
Ferrets are extremely active, love lots of exercise and will want youto play with them every day. They??re friendly once they get to know youand although they??re carnivores, they won??t bite you if you treat themright.
Ferrets need lots of protein in their diet and because they digesttheir food very quickly, they must be fed at regular intervals.
Which Ferret Will You Choose?
Originally there were two ferret coat colours (albino and sable).Nowadays there are a wide variety of colours, patterns and markings.
The different combinations of colours, patters and markings producean infinite number of variations. Some examples of patterns could be??Roan?? (a mixture of coloured and white hair) or ??Dalmatian?? (with spotsand blotches on a white coat). Markings can be a mask of colour foundacross the face mitts and feet, or a blaze (white on forehead andchest).
What to Feed Your Ferret…
Ferrets are carnivores so they need lots of protein in their diet,and this means that they will cost a little more to feed than a rabbitor guinea pig. Ferrets digest their food very quickly so need small,frequent meals with a high level of protein and oil. A good quality, heavy, earthenware bowl keeps food dry and clean andprevents the Ferret from tipping the food. Bowls must be cleaned after every use and stale food thrown away.
Treats should be an extremely small element of the animal??s diet ?C overfeeding may lead to health problems such as obesity, dental problemsand heart disease. Natural treats for your Ferret could be some cooked chicken, ham and hard boiled or scrambled eggs. You will need to be careful though as Ferrets will have a favourite hiding place where they will hoard food. You will need to find this and remove any food that is stale.
NEVER GIVE YOUR FERRET ANY DAIRY PRODUCTS OR SWEETS.
Housing…
While it??s ultimately up to you as the pet owner whether you want tokeep your ferrets indoors or outdoors, we and the Ferret Association dorecommend keeping them inside. Housing your ferret indoors protectsagainst diseases including rabies. They also love to sleep in hammocks ?Cso make sure you include one in your ferret??s enclosure. If kept inside your Ferret will need a large cage with at least twocompartments. It should be kept away from draughts and direct sunlight.The ideal sized cage for one or two Ferrets would be 6ft x 2ft x 2ft(120cm x 60cm x 60cm). If you prefer to keep them outdoors a two-storey rabbit hutch will beideal and it should be placed in a sheltered position, out of direct sunlight. In cold weather, there must be adequate protection fromdraughts, wind and rain. Cages should be checked before winter to ensure that they are waterand draught proof and extra bedding should be provided if there is anydoubt about insulation. Place the hutch on bricks or legs to avoidbecoming damp during wet weather
Ferret??s cages need cleaning out regularly to ensure that yourferrets stay in the best of health. They are clean animals and don??tlike dirtying their living area, so you also need to provide a littertray.
Every day: Remove all soiled bedding and check water bottle/bowl.Change litter tray to prevent odour build up and attraction of pests. Once a week: Remove all bedding.Thoroughly sweep out all the soiledbedding. Rinse with warm water and mild detergent and wait until dry. Spray inside of cage with a safe cleaning product and wait until dry. Replace with clean bedding.
Provide a run for your Ferret; it is very important that it getsplenty of exercise every day. It will love running around and playing. Ferrets are naturally very active and inquisitive animals. They liketo keep themselves busy and, when allowed, spend the majority of theirtime running around and investigating their surroundings. Make some tunnels out of drainpipes or terracotta chimney liners.Flowerpots, cardboard or wooden boxes are great for hiding in andexploring. Your Ferret will also enjoy branches to climb on as well as platforms and a hammock. Hide some small pieces of food or treats in the play area to encourage your Ferret to forage. Your Ferret will also enjoy a walk outside with you too, but makesure you are in a safe, secure area. Use a harness and have an identitytag if you walk in a public area, just in case it escapes.
Handling Ferrets
To ensure that your Ferret becomes tame and affectionate it is important that you handle it frequently and correctly.
Picking up your Ferret incorrectly could lead to it being permanently frightened and may lead to it becoming aggressive.
Remember that most small animals are prey in the wild. So, ifapproached from above they??ll see a large shadow and become scared. Theymight run and hide or try to attack you.
Before attempting handling, make sure that your Ferret is awake and alert. Let it decide when it is ready to come to you.
Your voice is a very good method of introduction, it will make your Ferret aware that you are nearby.
Ferrets should be grasped around the shoulders with one hand, withyour thumb under its mouth and, at the same time, supporting the hindlegs with your other hand. Then gently lift it and hold against yourchest.
