Yes, dental problems would be the first suspicion, however, if your ferret has some kind of developing illness, then digestion of harder foods may be problematic. Ground food is also the best way to get a ferret to eat who has lost their appetite.

What are the best foods to feed a ferret?

The best diet for a ferret is a raw meat diet; it most closely mimics their natural diet. They are obligate carnivores and can only digest meat. Although raw is best, for some people it is not feasible. Choosing a good kibble diet can be challenging but finding a good one is essential to your ferrets health. First you need to look at the guaranteed analysis. A good kibble should be at least 35% protein, 20% fat and have less than 3% fiber. Next, look at the ingredient list. By law, ingredients have to be listed in the order of weight, so we want to see a lot of meat near the top. I try to choose kibble that has a least 4 meat ingredients in the first 6. Beware of items like "poultry" or "fish" versus "chicken" and "salmon". These are unspecified sources so that poultry could be chicken, turkey, duck, who knows! This means the meat source could vary from bag to bag. I prefer to see whole meats like "chicken" or "turkey" as the first ingredient, followed by "chicken meal" "turkey meal" or "duck meal". I don't mind seeing by-products as an ingredient because this can mean yummy items like liver and organs, all items a ferret would eat in the wild. I just don't want to see by products making up a majority of the foods. Some high end cat foods can be fed, given that they meet the criteria above. Good ferret foods: Wysong Epigen Ferret 90, Evo ferret, Natural Gold, 8in1 Ultimate Crunchy, DrFoster and Smith Ferret. Good cat foods: Evo cat, Wellness Core, Natures Variety Instinct, Orijen, GO! fit and free, and Blue Wilderness kitten. Dog food should not be fed; it usually does not have to proper fat/protein ratios and is often higher in fillers. It also does not contain taurine, an essential nutrient for cats and ferrets.
