Great thread! My ferrets used to be on a raw/whole prey diet. Then life got crazy and I just could not keep up with it. I will be switching them back soon and hope to make it mostly whole prey.
I really wish my ferrets could be free roam, but there are just too many things in this apartment they could get into right now. Once I have the place organized I might go through the apartment and ferret proof. One of my biggest concerns is the couch. It's a pull out bed and we do have a friend that stays with us about once a week. Not to mention the cats have clawed the corners of the couch to the point a ferret could EASILY slip into the hole and never be found again. That goes for the mattress on our bed too.
