It shouldn't be their only food but some ferrets do like fish. Some good choices would be tuna, salmon or whiting. The fish should be fresh, raw and unprocessed. The oils naturally contained in fish are a great source of vitamins and minerals which are good for the ferrets joints, skin and fur.

Ferrets are true carnivores (meat eaters) and in the wild eat whole prey. It should be okay for a ferret to eat tripe.

What is unsafe for a ferret to do?

Lots of things are unsafe for a ferret to do. Ferrets should usually be supervised. Here are three of them:Dont let your ferret eat something suspicious. If you see your ferret eat something suspicious, try to pry it out of your ferret's mouth and don't let your ferret eat it. If your ferret eats it, it could cause indigestion for your ferret, and indigestion is not pretty.Dont let your ferret outside unsupervised. This is one the unsafest things you could do, because ferrets are not cats. Once they're gone, they're gone for good.Dont let your ferret "play" around with your smaller pets, like a bird or hamster. Ferrets tend to bite a lot and you could cause harm to your littler pets. And I don't think blood is good for your ferret!Well, three isn't alot but I hope they helped, I guess!
