No. Cat/ kitten or dog / puppy foods are not suitable as they contain too much plant matter and not enough meat which makes it difficult for the ferret to digest. The also lack some of the vital nutrients that a ferret requires to stay healthy. Ferrets can survive on high quality kitten food as they contain less plant matter but it is not recommended.
Ferrets are carnivores and so should be fed raw meat. Meat such as chicken, rabbit, lamb, beef, turkey etc. Chicken and duck eggs are also good and are a great source of protein.
Special ferret pet food is available in pet stores. Chose the ferret food with the highest meat content possible. Different foods are available for your ferret depending on their age. If you Google "ferret food comparison chart" you will be able to find the best food for your ferret.
Ferret supplements such as FerrTonic and FerrTone are also available. They usually come in liquid or paste form and contain extra vitamins and minerals to keep your ferret as healthy as possible.Make sure your ferret has a fresh dish of water or water bottle beside his food dish as some ferrets will refuse to eat if there isn't water nearby.

Is it ok fir a feerets to eat cat food?
If they eat some cat food while they're out exploring, they'll be okay. But you shouldn't feed it to them regularly. Cats and ferrets have different protein and fat needs, so while it's basically the same stuff, the proportions are different. If I remember correctly, ferret food is the higher-fat stuff, so you would have more of a problem getting your cat to stop eating ferret food. All carnivores love fat.
What are good types of ferret food?
Well, ferrets enjoy raw egg once a week. NEVER use cat food on long term. It is OK as an occasional treat but is NOT RECOMENDED in the long run, because it causes digestive upset and MALNUTRITION. Cat food isn't a complete and balanced diet. It is also very high in carbohydrates and can cause obesity. Ferrets like raw meat because they are carnivores! Be sure you're ready to feed a ferret, it gets costly. _____________________________________________ Good brands high in meat protein: Ferret- 8in1 Ultimate Crunchy, Wysong Ferret Epigen 90, Evo ferret, Dr Foster and Smith, Natural Gold, Zupreem, purina LabDiet Ferret, Kaytee Fiesta MAX
