Hello. Right now I feed Kibble Mix. NV Instinct Cat Food, and Blue Wilderness Grain Free Cat Food and EVO Ferret Kibble. But they POOP so much and the smell is alot even after just a day.
I would like to add in some raw. Maybe eventually all Raw. I have 6 of my own ferrets. I often have Fosters. I'm wondering if anyone feeds 6 ferrets Raw daily and how much they end up feeding a day. My worry is cost. In my area we have alot of Chicken, beef pork and turkey meat. But normally I can only find Chicken Liver amd sometimes Gizzard with hearts (I eats them too.) Often I can only find Gizzards. I have a heard time finding hearts. I may be able to find Bone meal in our organic food store but it's not there I need another alternative we only have that 1 store. Besides regular grocery stores. Which I have talked to about hearts etc and they say they only have what they put out. Also wondering about Fish can they eat variety of fish?
Is it possible to feed kibble daily and feed like a raw meal deal or Kibble for a meal and Raw for a meal. Do you mix the Two. (I have heard no due to digestive differences)
I wanna try a Basic soupy. I have a feeling I'm gonna waste alot I absolutely HATE wasted food....i figure because I have tried the Frozen NV Instinct Cat food and they wouldn't even go near the bowl.
I also wonder about do I feed them at scheduled times or leave food all day I ask cause I work from 6 to 3 a few days a week and often don't get home til later due to 1 car and my husband works too sometimes later.
Sorry so many questions Im just concerned about cost, waste and if they need to be watched while eatting etc.
Also how to I feed it I don't want bacteria all over the cage cause it's covered in fleece. I'm always afraid of getting sick from raw meat.
I have been looking over the raw Readings that are sticky on the forum. It's alot to take in and I'm a bit overwhelmed.
