Do not feed ferrets any guinea pig food or any other pet food. Feed ferrets food made especially for ferrets. They are strict carnivores (meat eater) and cannot properly digest any vegetables, fruits or grains.
There are no ferret food competitions. Ferrets are free fed with food from it's owner, so there's no need to compete
Ferrets are carnivores and should be given food made for ferrets only.
All healthy ferrets should be on a dry food or at least mostly dry food diet. Wet food is specifically made for ferrets but should be given in moderation. A dry food diet helps maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Ferrets eat small amounts of food regularly. They will usually eat ever 3 or 4 hours.
Ferrets are obligate carnivores meaning they are meat eaters, and must be fed a high quality ferret food that is primarily meat based.
Yes. Ferrets have fast metabolisms and need to eat about every 3 hours. It is best to leave food out 24/7
A ferret can eat cat food, but not as a main source. They should be eating food made especially for ferrets only. A high quality kitten food can be a second source of food for ferrets.
Yes. All ferrets now matter how tame will do what is called "stashing". Stashing is when the ferret stores away certain toys or pieces of food for later or to hide them from other animals that might take them.

Yes and No. Ferrets don't need to be bathe, they groom themselves and stay clean. Water and food bowls will be tipped over, use heavy crock or non-tipping bowls. Ferrets will not potty around their food area. Ferrets have a rapid digestive system and potty about every 3 to 4 hours, If they are out of the cage and need to go, they can't hold it, and will seek out the first available corner (have extra litter pans or put newspaper in the corners). Ferrets like to hide things, like food and toys, and food can spoil (if feeding ferrets food that might spoil, don't give them more than they can eat).
