I do not get a kick out of watching my ferrets hunt. I watch to make sure the ferret is safe while hunting. Once I know the feeder is not going to harm my ferret, I go do something else while the ferret eats. It is the same for watching a snake strike prey when you feed live. I just want to make sure my animal is safe, then I let them eat in peace.

Also, I feed a raw/whole prey diet, not just because it is natural for them, but because it is good for them. The raw meat makes up the bulk of their diet for now. I also do not feed whole prey items to all my ferrets. Only one of my girls gets whole prey and that is because she can easily dispatch a rodent in less than 2-3 seconds. She doesn't let the rodent suffer.

Also, I make sure the ferrets are safe. The prey items are properly sized before I give them to my ferret. Twitch does not get anything larger than a 20g mouse as live prey. Anything larger is f/t. This is for the safety of my fur kids as well as the feeder animals. (If they cannot be dispatched quickly, they suffer)

Once again, this thread was not meant to be a "lets attack the ferret keeper about her feeding practices thread". This was supposed to be a "my gerbils gonna pop" thread. So let us get back to the main purpose of this thread and leave my ferret husbandry alone.

So there are five little jelly beans. I still need to find my camera so I can snap a few pictures of them.
