1. What are some good emergency taurine sources if you run out of heart?
Ferrets need 500mg of taurine
of which 250mg is served in the morning and 250mg is served at night and is only used in emergency settings.
SO THIS QUESTION ISN'T ASKING FOR THE AMOUNT THEY ARE ASKING FOR THE SOURCES IE. TONGUE AND OR A POWDERED TAURINE SUPPLEMENT.

struggling to poop and or not having any bowel movements. as for fixing it if it has to do with to much bone.. im not to sure on how to fix it.
IF IT HAS TO DO WITH TOO MUCH BONE ADJUST THE BONE CONTENT OF THAT WEEK REPLACE A BONE IN MEAL WITH A MUSCLE MEAL TILL STOOLS GO BACK TO NORMAL.
