Keep your ferret happy, healthy and energized with a well-balanced diet. We have you covered whether you’re a new pet parent or need tips to improve your small pet’s nutrition. Read on to learn about ferret food including essential ingredients, foods to avoid, and how often to feed your furry pal.

What should I feed my ferret? Being carnivores, ferrets require a diet that’s high in protein and fat. Pellets are a smart choice, with a wide variety of flavors, such as turkey, chicken, and lamb. Make sure you confirm that one of those ingredients is listed first when choosing pellets to ensure your ferret is getting the nutrients they need. On the flip side, steer clear of pellets with grain or corn. When in doubt, just look for quality protein.
