Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What ingredients are in Oxbow Real Prey Turkey Ferret Treats?

Ans: Contains turkey meal, turkey broth, chicken fat, glycerin, chicken liver, rice flour, gelatin, brewer's yeast, salt, citric acid, white vinegar, and mixed tocopherols. Made with 60%+ animal proteins and fats without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

Q2: Why is high protein and fat content important for ferrets?

Ans: Ferrets are obligate carnivores requiring 30-35% minimum protein and 20-30% fat. Their rapid 3-4 hour digestive transit time requires frequent nutrient-dense meals. High protein and fat support energy, muscle development, and proper metabolic function throughout their active lifestyle.

Q3: How many treats should I feed my ferret daily?

Ans: Feed 3-4 treats per ferret daily, maximum. Treats should not exceed 20% of total daily food intake. Ferrets require 8-10 small meals daily; treats supplement but cannot replace balanced commercial ferret pellets or whole prey diets.

Q4: Can these treats replace my ferret's regular ferret food diet?

Ans: No, treats supplement but cannot replace high-protein pelleted ferret food or whole prey. Treats provide enrichment and variety; ferret-specific pellets or whole prey remain an essential foundation for complete nutrition and health. Treats add flavor variety only.

Q5: Do ferrets with sensitive digestion need gradual introduction to these treats?

Ans: Yes, introduce new treats gradually over 3-5 days to prevent digestive upset or diarrhea. Ferrets have sensitive digestive systems adapted to specific protein sources; sudden diet changes can cause gastrointestinal distress. Always monitor for adverse reactions.

Q6: Are there any ferrets that shouldn't eat these turkey treats?

Ans: Consult your veterinarian before offering treats to ferrets with insulinoma, recent surgery, or gastrointestinal diseases. Ferrets with food sensitivities or allergies may need alternative protein sources. Senior ferrets with dental issues may struggle with crunchy textures; soften if needed.

Q7: How does the crunchy and chewy texture benefit ferrets?

Ans: Mixed texture provides enrichment, promoting natural chewing instincts and mental stimulation. Crunchy components support dental health through jaw exercise and plaque reduction. Chewy portions satisfy natural predatory behaviors. Variety prevents habituation and behavioral boredom.

Q8: Should ferrets have access to fresh water when eating these treats?

Ans: Yes, always provide fresh drinking water with treats. Ferrets' high metabolic rate and rapid digestion require constant hydration. Water aids protein digestion and nutrient absorption. Never restrict water access during or after treat time.

Q9: How should I store Oxbow Real Prey Turkey Ferret Treats?

Ans: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep in original packaging after opening. Check for mold, moisture, or deterioration before offering. Shelf-stable format requires no refrigeration, but monitor for spoilage signs.
