Is raw meat safe for my 1-year-old ferrets? What can they eat?

Question

What kind of raw meat to feed my two 1 yr old ferrets. Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Male | 2 years and 1 month old

Kevin Sanada, DVM · Accepted Answer

We don't recommend feeding raw meat to domestic animals due to the risk of spreading disease to your ferrets and possibly to people in the household (multiple reports of this happening). It's best to cook the meat prior to feeding it. You can feed chicken or other poultry, mice/rats, rabbit, or small amounts of fish, beef, pork or lamb. I hope that helps and all is well with your ferrets.
