The domestic ferret (Mustela putorious furo) is a strict carnivore, also referred to as an obligate carnivore. Its dentition and gastrointestinal tract are adapted to a carnivorous diet. Its ancestor, the European polecat (Mustela putorius), feeds on birds and other small vertebrates. Domesticated ferrets have been fed mink feeds, cat foods, and now mostly subsist on commercial ferret diets formulated specifically to meet their needs.
家养雪貂（Mustela putorious furo）是严格的肉食动物，也被称为专性肉食动物。它的牙齿和胃肠道适合肉食性饮食。其祖先欧洲艾鼬（Mustela putorius）以鸟类和其他小型脊椎动物为食。家养雪貂过去被喂食水貂饲料、猫粮，现在大多以专门为满足其需求而配制的商业雪貂日粮为生。
