Domestic ferrets possible predators would be like hawks, owls, or any larger carnivorous mammals (dogs, coyotes, etc) would hunt them given the opportunity.

Ferrets don't have any natural instincts against predators, because they are so domesticated and rely on humans, they do not know to be scared of other animals.

Black footed ferrets natural enemies includes coyotes, great-horned owls, golden eagles, prairie falcons, badgers, bobcats and foxes.

Why are the ferrets still not eating dry food?

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.


Do ferrets eat their babies?

Not likely. Domestic ferrets imprint on their food by the time they are six months old. If they do not recognize an item as food, they generally won't touch it. So unless you regularly feed baby kittens to your ferret, the ferret won't think its food. Ferrets and cats normally get along pretty well.

What should you do if your new ferret is not eating anything?

Ferrets imprint on food, meaning whatever they are fed for the first six months, they will only recognize that as food. Feed your ferret the same food it has been eating. Any changes in your ferrets food must be gradual to avoid upset stomach. If it is a baby ferret, try mixing dry food with a little water. Otherwise, if you cannot get your ferret to eat, you need to contact a veterinarian as soon as possible to rule out any illness.

Can a ferret eat lettuce if you run out of ferret food?

No. Ferrets are obligate carnivores meaning that they can only eat meat or meat based foods. Their body is unable to digest fruit, vegetables, dairy or grains and feeding these to the ferret can cause it to become unwell. If you run out of ferret food maybe try giving the ferret some raw meat or an egg.
