Best Answer

Yes, though I personally wouldn't recommend it because of the risk for injury. Already killed prey or frozen prey is perfectly fine and is a very healthy diet for ferrets.

Can ferrets eat macaroni and cheese?

Ferrets food needs are very similar to a cats. Both need vitamin b1 for heart, brain and lung function. Therefore most kitten food (not cat food) are fine to feed to a ferret. However, I would recommend using a specifically designed dry ferret food instead. Ferrets need more fat and protein content than cats as they have a faster digestive system. Also dry food keeps longer, has less wastage and does not attract flys.
