Introduce the diet gradually over a period of 5-7 days until it replaces the previous food completely. It is suggested that the total daily intake be offered on a free-choice basis. Do not leave stale food in the bowl for more than three days. Care must be taken to avoid long periods when feed is not available. Restricted feeding (max 3% bodyweight) should only be considered if the ferret becomes obese. Do not starve a ferret to reduce weight.
For young ferrets the dry diet should be fed soaked; this should continue to 16 weeks of age although young kits will take dry diet from as young as 4 weeks of age. Young ferrets will consume around 5-7% of their bodyweight.
The amounts shown are only a guide and you should only feed your ferret sufficient amounts to maintain condition dependent upon the level of activity enjoyed by your ferret and the reproductive phase. Lactating ferrets will need 3-5 times maintenance. Always ensure that clean, fresh drinking water is available at all times (consumption is typically 75-100ml per day). There is no requirements to supplement this diet with fresh meat.
