Expert’s answer:
No, you cannot milk a ferret. Ferrets are not milk-producing animals like cows or goats. They are carnivorous mammals and do not have the necessary anatomy or physiology to produce milk. If you have any specific questions about ferrets or any other topic, feel free to ask!

A few days ago, I found an orphaned week-old weasel and I’m currently feeding it kitten milk. Do you think goat’s milk or goat’s colostrum would be of benefit to it instead/as well?
🧑 Barbara Carlson · Created: 16.08.2018 · Updated: –
How is it doing? Around here, I would strongly recommend taking it to a wild life rehabber. They know what the nutritional needs are and how to feed it properly.Having said that, applying logic, I’d say that kitten items (kittens being obligate carnivores like ferrets and weasels) would be better than anything from an herbivore. But I don’t really …

9 Things You Should Avoid Feeding Your Ferret
Annotation: Ferrets have unique nutritional needs and should not be fed dog or adult cat food, cooked bones, fruit and vegetables, bread or grains, sugar-free treats, xylitol, chocolate, coffee, grapes, or dairy products. Ferrets are carnivores and need lots of meat protein and fat. Kitten food is recommended for those who cannot provide a balanced raw diet. Cooked bones are hard and indigestible and prone to forming sharp fragments. Fruit and vegetables can predispose ferrets to insulinoma. Berries, grains, and seeds made for humans can be toxic to ferrets. Chewable vitamins, gum, and toothpaste can be tempting but should be kept out of reach. Dairy products like ice-cream, milk, and cheese should be avoided as ferrets lack the enzyme required to digest lactose. Consult a veterinarian if you see anything with chew marks. A list of toxic plants can be useful, but it’s best to consult a vet for advice.

Ferret Friendly Milk
Annotation: The author’s ferret Mal is picky with food and won’t touch most treats, but likes candy and milk. He seeks it out and wants to try anything with milk. They cannot find lactose-free milk in pet stores and are looking for milk meant as a treat for adult cats. They plan to make a cocktail of ferret-friendly milk, chicken baby food, and egg yolk to give them as a seductive eat meat treat. They have tried different types of liquid meat but their ferrets won’t have it, so they are hoping the milk will lure them in. The author is also looking to put some weight on Mal, who has always been on the skinny side and is
losing winter fat. They are concerned about his eating, pooping, and fecal health and have had fecal panels run on him in the past. They don’t want to just feed him vite but hope the milk-based smoothie would help in that area.

Hand-Rearing Ferrets
Annotation: Ferret milk has high solids content, elevated fat levels, and low amounts of lactose. It is unsuitable for hand rearing ferrets. Wombaroo Dog Milk Replacer is a suitable substitute. To make milk, add 20g of powder to 75ml of preboiled warm water. Prepared milk can be stored in a refrigerator for a day or frozen for up to 2 weeks. To avoid dehydration during periods of hot weather, provide drinks of pre-boiled water between feeds.

Feeding Your Ferret
Annotation: Ferrets need animal protein and high amounts of fats to survive. Pelleted ferret food should contain a meat source as the main ingredient. Kitten food is a suitable base diet for ferrets, but they may need extra fatty acid supplements. Ferrets need to eat 6-8 times per day due to their high metabolic rate. Cooking meat thoroughly before offering it to your ferret is recommended. The amount a ferret needs to eat depends on their age, weight, activity level, reproductive status, health status, base diet, and free-feeding.

Why Ferrets Should NOT Get MILK of ANY Kind
Annotation: Ferrets are unable to digest lactose, a sugar molecule found in milk. Giving ferrets lactose-free milk means giving them ingested sugar, which has a strong link to insulinoma. Lactose is a big sugar molecule made out of 2 smaller sugars (glucose and galactose) stuck together. In animals that can NOT digest milk, the lactose hangs around ripe for the taking – by bacteria. This is what causes diarrhea, bloating, upset stomach, etc.

Why Ferrets Should Not Get Milk of Any Kind
Annotation: Ferrets cannot digest lactose, a sugar molecule found in milk. Giving them goat milk may help, but it has almost the same lactose content as cow milk. Lactose-free milk does not solve the problem of indigestion due to lactose. Instead, it inadvertently feeds ferrets digestible sugar which has a strong link to insulinoma. In animals that cannot handle sugar, lactose hangs around ripe for the taking by bacteria, causing diarrhea, bloating, and upset stomach. In lactose free milk, the enzyme Lactase is added to the milk, breaking the big sugar lactose into the two smaller sugars in the milk ahead of time. This makes the lactose sugar available for digestion in ferrets, but they get no stomach ache but do get sugar.

Hey Steph, thank you so much for posting this; you might have saved two lives..! My (ferret-friendly)vet recommended Cat’s milk as a crafty way to get (ground up) pills down my little devil’s necks and sure enough they loved it: so I carried on giving them it, for thankfully only a few weeks, after their dinner. Then I watched this, went and read the ingredients listed on the back of the carton and sure enough: SUGAR!!! Cat’s milk might be good for emergencies but not as part of their regular diet. Thanks again m8 I’m v V grateful. Keep up the good work, you’re a true friend to the Little People!! 🙂 Ps: I guess the moral is: Always Read the Bloody Label…
