Black-footed ferrets in the wild are susceptible to becoming prey themselves. Common predators of ferrets include coyotes (Canis latrans), badgers (Taxidea taxus) and great-horned owls (Bubo virginianus). Other predators can include bobcats (Lynx rufus) and hawks and eagles.
That is it. Ferrets are carnivores (meat eaters). Therefore healthy ferret food will consist of plenty of delicious, succulent, juicy meat! Ferrets have been kept in captivity for over 300 years; about 40 years ago we started introducing them to processed foods. Before that, they got healthy ferret food such as whole prey eg. mice, rats and chicks.
