Yes, ferrets are carnivores - meat eaters. Type of meat ferrets eat is usually bird (chicken, pheasant, etc) or mice (the kind you feed to snakes), some beef, but don't feed them any pork. According to the book 'Complete Guide to Ferrets by James McKay' (ISBN 1853104337) "The best diet for ferrets consists of complete cadavers of mammals and birds, by gutting these first, as long as the lungs, heart, liver and kidneys are left for the ferret". There are Yahoo Groups dedicated to raw feeding ferrets for advise. See links below on feeding ferrets raw diets
