Question
i don't really know wat i hav to feed when they are baby ...

Answer
Your question is very difficult to understand. I believe you are asking what to feed ferrets when they are babies?

That would depend upon how old they are. I will assume that you are talking about pet store ferrets who are very young, having trouble eating dry kibble.  The best thing you can do is put a little water on the kibble so it is soft - BUT you must change it about four times a day so it doesn't get rotten - it rots easily when it is wet.  Be sure to wash the bowl with warm, soapy water and rinse well, then dry it after each time you clean out the old food.  Also, make sure your ferret has water at all times - either in a bowl or a bottle that drips and change this daily also; ferret MUST have fresh water and fresh food at all times.

I hope that answered your question.  You should only have to moisten the food for a week or two, then they can eat regular food, such as Totally Ferret, or Marshall's Ferret Food - always feed ONLY ferret food or baby food meat (chicken or turkey). Cat food and dog food is not good for ferrets.

Best of luck; write again if you need more help!
