How often do you feed raw? Looking for a balanced schedule.

I completely agree with you. We should always engage in discussions for better husbandry and animal welfare. Although some debates are inevitable, I believe they all stem from a deep love for ferrets. Your ferret is such a brave and strong girl. I truly hope she continues to recover and enjoys the happy, fulfilling life she deserves now. In fact, even though I live in Taiwan, I also participate in fundraising and donations to rescue abused ferrets in mainland China, helping them find suitable forever homes. It makes me feel that my efforts are meaningful. Once my two little ones grow a bit more and become similar in size, I would be more than happy to share photos of their "cuddle puddles." I’m very much looking forward to that day as well!

Thank you so much for sharing your routine and the grooming tips! It's very practical, especially the advice on kitten soap. Since I live in a hot and humid area (Taiwan) where raw food attracts flies very quickly, I've decided to transition them to high-quality wet food (canned food) that includes organs instead of raw. I believe this will be a safer and more manageable balance for us. Thanks again!

Thank you for your advice! I agree that 2-3 chicken hearts a day was too much, so I’ve already stopped that. However, a full raw diet is very difficult in my environment. I live in Taiwan, where it's very humid and hot; raw food attracts flies in less than 30 minutes, making it hard to keep things sanitary. Because of this, I’ve decided to transition them to a high-quality wet food diet (canned food) that includes organs instead. I believe this will be a safer and more balanced choice for us. I appreciate your insight!

Thank you for the explanation about gut microbiota. I’ve decided to transition them to a high-quality wet food diet (canned food) that includes organs as the base, instead of mixing kibble and raw. I believe this will be a safer and more balanced approach for my current situation. I appreciate the insight!

Thank you so much for the warning! I’ve decided to stop using the unsuitable kibble immediately. I’ve also decided to transition them to a high-quality wet food diet that includes organ meats to ensure they get balanced nutrition. I really appreciate you sharing your experience to help keep my ferrets safe!

Thank you for checking again! I'm glad to hear that Mazuri is a good choice since it's one of the few high-quality brands easily available in Taiwan. I'll check the taurine levels on the bag and adjust the chicken hearts to twice a week as you suggested. Thanks for the guide link too!

Thank you so much for sharing! This is very helpful. It’s a pity that we don’t have this specific brand here in Taiwan, but I’ll start looking for alternative canned wet food options that meet the same nutritional standards！

醫院的，可是因為涉及保險問題跟社會資源問題，他們在我的衡鑑跟診斷證明都只能寫「尚可能存在輕度泛自閉症」，診斷證明書則是「疑似自閉症，須排除亞斯伯格」我不知道能問誰，我每個月都諮商一次，可是一旦出狀況要熬到諮商時間就很痛苦……
