How hard will it be to get them back to kibble. I was told that they wouldn't stink as bad, and they still do. They're poop wasnt supposed to be that stinky. And it's worse that now they're on the raw. They're not supposed to be picky and they are. The dont like rabbit. They don't like the different organs I had to search for or anything. They want even eat anything unless it's really cut up. And they were perfect with using the litter box before I switched and now they go where ever and I have to soak the cage to clean it . I'm just stuck with what to do.

Up to you entirely. As for getting rid of the kibble stink, it takes a few months as a rule.

There's a detox period when they switch from kibble to raw. They might even smell worse for a while. It can take several weeks. But it's really, really worth it. Maisie has the full run of my small home (780 sq ft), and no one can smell her -- even a very honest friend who has a great sense of smell. I trust her when she says she can't smell ferret in the house.

I think being picky is normal? Not all meat tastes the same, It's new food that they have never had or seen before and some have stronger scents than others. You also have to think about where the raw comes from some places are going to treat the meat differently and it's not going to say the whole truth on the packaging. Ferrets can smell and taste that difference even if it's the same animal from different stores. Change is hard.

But they poop everywhere they get it all over them self's and they're blankets and hammock

How can I switch them? Im done with the raw. Anything new I get them goes to waste. Even the stuff the do eat they waste alot because they just dont touch it any more . And its impossible to litter train because she keeps putting food in it no matter what.

I honestly just want to switch back. I've had nothing but trouble since they've been on raw and it's very frustrating
I guess I just give it to them. That's what I'll do then

Is there a freeze dried raw food that I can use 24/7 instead of kibble?

just an fyi, freeze dried raw is one of THE most expensive ways to feed. But if you choose to do this, stella and chewey's feline is fine. still need a minimum 3 proteins.

Less than fdr, but more so than simple frankenprey.
