Ferrets, like cats, can be extraordinarily picky eaters and will point blank refuse anything they don't like or are unused to. However, if you can get them to try something new, they'll usually happily eat it from then on. Try mixing some dry food in with whatever you've been feeding them in the past and then gradually increase the ratio of dry food to the old food.

Foods which are high in sugar should also be avoided as ferrets can develop diabetes. Another thing to avoid is dairy.

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.
