Alright! In that case, let's get an example menu set up. Would you please write up a sample one and we can work on tweaking it?

sorry, got busy! how much of the mutton rib bone do they actually consume? If I give them a few days to chew on it, they consume the whole chunk. Bone and all.

Almost ready to graduate! Just some questions for you. What are some good emergency taurine sources if you run out of heart? How can you tell if your ferret is getting too much or too little bone? What is a healthy diet item that can be used for hairballs, and his often should you give it?

What are some good emergency taurine sources if you run out of heart?
Brain. Fish – Cold water fish such as sardines or salmon are excellent, natural sources of taurine. Meat – All meat contains taurine, with dark poultry meat being one of the best sources. Eggs.
If I'm not entire mistaken, doesn't tongue (I can't recall if certain animals or not) have taurine?
How can you tell if your ferret is getting too much or too little bone?
By how soft or hard their feces is. Whether it's runny or not.
What is a healthy diet item that can be used for hairballs, and his often should you give it?
Eggs.
It varies, depending on who you ask. Once every 3 days. Twice a week. Twice a week when shedding, once a week when not shedding. It goes on.

Congratulations :banana: :goodjob: You've graduated and you're ready to walk this path alone. You have the foundation knowledge to help you feed your fuzzes in a more natural and healthy manner. Please remember that your learning never stops, the search for new proteins will be an ongoing process and dietary needs change from ferret to ferret and throughout each their lives. I would like you to be aware that though you now have the capability and the knowledge to create your little ones diets you are never alone and that your mentor (you need only pm) is always available to you. The list is also a very good resource and you should always be aware that it's available to answer any questions you may have either about diet or care. Good luck, in a few days Sherry will lock down this thread and place it in the archives but be aware that you can always look through it as a reference tool but you just will not be able to post to it. Your mentor will be in to congratulate you shortly :thumbsup: :wave3: ciao
