Re: Mouldy teeth
Chocolate is poisonous for ferrets.
Ferrets are MEAT eaters, do not feed them salad stuff. The meat and ferret biscuits are sufficient. Always supply fresh water. It does sound like the teeth are rotting though ![]() A vet check would be advisable. RAW bones are good for dental hygiene. Butter (while I know they love the stuff) is loaded with salt, another thing not good for them unfortunately (I very very very occasionally give mine a lick of butter) and a lick is all!!! Unsalted butter is sometimes a temporary helper to put weight on an underweight ferret (high in calories) |

Re: Mouldy teeth
My Ferret refuses to eat meat. she eats the crunchy ferret kibble(the dried up meat source) high in protein, but she loves chocolate, penut butter and all the stuff she should not have. She favors Honey Nut Cherios. All that extra crap could cause the teeth issues so I keep a good eye on her teeth. Can't get her to eat meat at all, any kind of meat. I'm going to look into the way the english in London feed their Ferrets I've heard that they feed them live food such as chickens(baby chicks). I'll be researching that to find out for sure after all Ferrets are carnivores. The thought of my sweet little Feebie attacking and killing then getting bloody sure does not appeal to me at all but if it will keep her healthy I may be willing to put a tarp over her cage and let her hunt.
