Ferret for food?

[Ax01]

There is a person who has ferrets for free on Craigslist. Would it be ok to offer to Rainbow? I think she would eat it.

well this is just a bunch a red flags.


Edit:

Personally, I could care less what happens to a few rodents but if you take someone's pet Ferret and feed it to your snake I would be more concerned with the media backlash that could potentially follow.....feeding pets to other pets typically doesn't rub people the right way.

Agreed.

Besides, would the owner know that you plan on using the ferrets as feeders? I'd be pissed if I found out that the pet I thought was going to a loving home was actually used as snake food. Don't get me wrong- I know that snakes need to eat and I have no problem feeding my ball python her f/t rats. But I would never go on craigslist and "adopt" rats just to turn around and feed them to my snake. I think that is unfair to the previous owner. If you are going to go through with it I think you should be clear about your intentions.

totes agreement. also I’ve seen online ads for small mammal adoptions (puppies, kittens, ferrets, GP’s, etc.) w/ disclaimers that say they are not for use as snake foods. this just feeds into the stereotypes against our animals and community. Snake reports wsp. Those w/ (large) constrictors shouldn’t not feed into that. let’s try not to cruise CL for these things.
