thanks Ky and Rio and now Tia

I feed my ferrets everything EXCEPT pork!

At first I would offer it to her everyday (unless she is already used to it) but ferrets can be picky eaters & it may take her a while to reconize it as food. You have to persistant & eventually she should start to eat it.

You can feed it raw (I do, although I wish I had enough $ & time to feed them only raw food) so they only nibble on it as I dont feed it everyday.

As far as cooking goes you can cook it anyway you want although picky ferrets ussually prefer boiled or baked until they get the hang of eating it regularly. Boil in just water or you can slow cook it in a crock pot. Should you decide to bake or fry use only olive oil & only a little.

Mine seem to like turkey the best, baked of course, they like the turkey deli meat too! Second would be chicken & rabbit (boiled, rabbit is hard to come by in my area). Then lamb & beef (broiled, indoor grilled).
I do know some ferrets prefer meats in different orders so just keep trying different meats & cooking techniques until you find a favorite.
