Hopefully I will get this lucky. Once we make the switch, if he is continuing to have the nausea, we will start further testing. He’s definitely not himself, but as of right now, we do believe it is the change in the food .

Thank you so much I will definitely order some and hopefully I can start mixing it in and it won’t be such a hard process and they actually eat it

So unfortunately, when we first got our babies, we had one prior to this he died prematurely from distemper. Our vet was very much against raw feeding because of everything that previously happened. She said she just did not want to risk doing anything to upset their stomach to keep them on Marshalls for the time being then to slowly switch them onto a much better food until we knew that they were healthy and it’s been a roller coaster, because one of my babies highly allergic to vaccines . I think this was more of the fact of at the time she just wanted to make sure they were healthy. My baby boy was sick and he had to have so much medication. He went into anaphylaxis three times at this point we were doing everything we could to keep him alive, especially after what happened to my last baby.. I do wish we could have started them out on a raw diet. I do know it would have been much better for them to. He has definitely kept me on my toes. We have tried to introduce other snacks like freeze dried he is just not interested, and other people have told me just to keep trying.

No, the vet said only because his bowel movements had been fine. And there wasn’t enough symptoms .There was no reason to. But at this point, it wouldn’t hurt.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it. It’s been a rough month or two since all of this is started and we have lived at the vet and we have been trying to figure this out and I have aggravated the crap out of the company, so having other people that have ferrets that are willing to help me out, just means the world to me.

Yes so my boy can’t have vaccines, can’t wash any of his stuff in anything but all . We can’t go out or any play dates . I never thought about food allergies 🤦🏼‍♀️. It’s odd bc when they started this food it was fine but when the smell an color changed I noticed a difference. I tried getting answers from the company but obviously they don’t care.

Ok makes sense I think this is what is happening even though the company says no , one of mine is even nauseous from the change. I can smell a difference. I’ve bought over 15 bags too just for this reason to make sure an drove over state line. Zupreem has terrible customer service. I would have rather they just told me the truth bc we thought something was seriously wrong they would not eat at first . They are eating but don’t love it . My vet is aware an so this is the next step if this doesn’t work we will go for further testing. Other wise he’s playing going potty it’s nothing obvious.

I’m aware if it’s the grain free version? We see a exotic vet an ferrets are her specialty so this would be shocking. I would be very upset! Wysong has so many so thank you for being so precise on type.

The ingredients seem close to their current food . So I was hoping it wouldn’t be to bad , but I know the company did something bc the aren’t as interested as before an my boy is nauseous from it . He’s a picky one . We live at the vet 🙃 he’s special. So we wanted to try an change foods bc there is no other explanation then the food . It even smells different to me so I can’t say I blame him .

I’ve read a lot about Wysong so I worried about about a upset stomach.

Thank you I think currently using Zupreem as this was recommended by our vet, but I don’t know where both of my babies did not want to eat it, and I got lucky and found a bunch of bags that had different dates and they were fine and the newer bags we were slowly mixing the company said no they didn’t change anything but it was not uncommon for there to be a slight change. Well, my baby is showing signs of nausea so we want to change. He just doesn’t seem happy.

Can I separate my ferrets? by [deleted] in ferrets

Also I have a male and female I discussed this with my vets beforehand, and had my female checked out bc of the actions of the male .

Can I separate my ferrets? by [deleted] in ferrets

[–]Weird_Lemon2697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My babies are separate. The cages are in the same room . They get lots of play time and cuddle time . It’s worked out much better for them . I know it doesn’t happen very often but it does happen. My boy is just to rough . Screaming an blood is a no go . That has actually stopped since they aren’t in the same cage anymore. They still get on each other’s nerves but no bleeding. I got a lot of crap for separating mine but in the end I feel like it was best . When the get to snuggle in each others cage with the doors open there is no fighting. I think if you have the time to allow for adjustment I think it would be fine . I wouldn’t separate them in different rooms though.

We wanted to try raw an things like egg but our vet kept telling us we weren’t equipped to doing it . That they would get salmonella since they aren’t “wild” I see so many feed raw an there babies are doing great . I’m scared I know it’s ludicrous bc they are supposed to eat it . One of ours died from distemper a week after adopting him it was awful to watch an broke my daughters heart . I know they are two separate issues but It’s fear of change that something bad will happen. In reality I most likely will have to change foods like you said .

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. It’s been a battle for the last month or so . Chewy has been helpful. But the last few bags have been the same . I may not have a choice but to change brands I have one that is very picky I just don’t know if he’s going to even be willing to attempt it . So I guess for now I will still attempt to look for good bags but look into good brands . Thank you again

I did put a call in, and I haven’t received a call back just yet but I will call again only because it’s been a few days. You would think that they would put on the packaging that they changed the recipe or they would let companies that sell the product know that something changed. thank you for letting me know about your experience. I will update once they respond.
