FerreTone & FerretVite
FerreTone and FerretVite are two great ferret supplements that can help to provide your ferret with a more well-rounded, nutritious diet. FerreTone is a skin and coat supplement, and FerretVite is a high calorie supplement. Both FerreTone and FerretVite are also available in a delicious, soft-moist treat form - FerreTone Skin & Coat Daily Moist Treats and FerretVite Multi-Vitamin Daily Moist Treats.
FerreTone is loaded with essential vitamins and fatty acids to promote a healthy skin and coat. It can be offered as a treat or given as a daily supplement for ferrets with dry, itchy skin. In addition to being a great reward for training, FerreTone is also the perfect distraction when you're trying to clip your ferret's nails. Just pour a little on her stomach, and while she licks it off, you can easily clip her nails.
FerreTone is also helpful for getting ferrets to try new food. Drizzling a little FerreTone on new food will make it more appetizing and appealing to picky ferrets. Just be sure to change the food the same day, as leaving FerreTone on food will cause it to go bad more quickly.
FerretVite is specially formulated to stimulate your ferret's appetite and increase weight gain. It can be especially helpful in encouraging picky ferrets to eat as well as stimulating the appetites of post-surgical ferrets. FerretVite is full of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, and it works well when used in conjunction with a high quality protein diet. You can give your ferret FerretVite straight from the tube, in his duck soup, or on his food.
It is important to note that while FerretVite can be very helpful in certain situations, it is not a treat that should be given daily unless instructed by a veterinarian. FerretVite is high in sugar, which isn't healthy for ferrets in large or frequent quantities, and it should never be given to a ferret with insulinoma unless you are specifically trying to raise their blood glucose levels during a hypoglycemic episode.
