Answer 2

Do you feed dog food to your cat? Of course not!

No, cat foods are unsuitable for ferrets, because of their low protein content and high fiber. Most cat foods contain corn and other grains, which can lead to blockage in ferrets.

Do not feed your ferret any kind of cat or dog food, they will suffer from improper nutrition and will become ill and could possibly cause death.

If you are unable to obtain ferret food, you can temporarily give them a high quality kitten food, like Iams or Science diet, consult with your veterinarian first
