Ferrets are one pet that I’ve always wanted to have, but that I’m aware that we wouldn’t be a good match! Though they’re as cute as can be and have great personalities, we’ve had the opportunity to pet sit for them, and know that they’re not the kind of pet we’re able to take commit to.
My husband, who has owned two separate ferrets at two separate times when he was a young adult, loves them but says the biggest drawback that he found was the smell. Even with both of them having been neutered, he said they still have a …read more

2 apples
1/2 c. ferret pellets
peanut butter (optional)
Grind the ferret pellets or crush them with the back of a spoon. Use a little water to soften the food to make it mushy, but not to watery. Mix in some peanut butter, be sure not to add to much. Peel the apples and chop them into tiny pieces. Mix the apples in with other ingredients and serve!
