Ferrets are obligatory carnivores. That means they have to eat meat. Their diet needs to contain at least 35% protein. Commercially prepared ferret diets like Marshall Farms or Kaytee will offer enough protein, but another choice is to go with a high quality dry kitten food (just make sure it has enough protein).
Check the ingredient list to make sure the protein comes from a high quality meat source.
You can supplement your ferret's diet with fresh foods like bananas, raisins, peanut butter, meat and cheese. A great way to tame a new ferret is to let her lick some peanut butter off your finger or give her a raisin every time you pick her up.
Ferretone is an oil based supplement that's great for your ferret's skin and coat. Again, just put a little on your finger and she'll lick it right off.
