Do ferrets eat bacon

Answer 1

Generally you must keep ferrets separated from any member of the rodent family - there are exceptions. one must remember that ferrets are obligated carnivores. Their main natural diet is rodents - they were used for many centuries to control pests - rats and mice.

I have one ferret that hunts dogs and yes, he tries to go for the back of the neck of the Yorkshires. He exhibits all the natural hunting talents of a small Weasel. I have another small female ferret that is quite old who would be fine with a guinea pig under supervision.

Answer 2

Domestic ferrets have strong natural instincts to prey upon rodents (rabbit, mice, rats etc) and as carnivores they might eat rabbit. Ferrets were domesticated to hunt rabbits and rodents, as a practice known as "ferreting", and today they are used in Great Britain to hunt rabbits.

Answer 3

Ferrets should not eat bacon. Bacon is highly processed and high in salt content which is not good for your ferret. Ferrets should be fed fresh, raw, unprocessed meat or meat based products. They can also be ocasionally be given an egg (chicken or duck egg) or some fish.

Answer 4

No they don't. Ferrets are like 10 times smaller than groundhogs.
