Oh good! My boys like Goat too, and it is great because it's very similar to lamb, so it's super gentle on their stomachs. Then if you ever have an allergy pop up, you have a good, gentle base food to work off of if needs be. Let me know how the shopping goes!

Awesome! Variety variety! I am glad they love the goat. Mine really seem to enjoy it too. I need to get some more. How many days a week are they getting heart? Liver? Bone?

Also, please post an updated menu with the new meats! You've got the variety, now we just need to work out any kinks and get a completed, finalized menu to be approved by Heather and you will be ready to graduate! Let me know of course if you have any trouble getting them to eat the new meats, but I think you know the process by now.

Good fuzzes! That is good to hear. Some ferrets, no matter how long they have been on raw, still think "new" meats are poison. Like sherry's ferret Boris who has to be reintroduced to a meat if he has not eaten it in a month. Silly ferret! I'll check back in tonight for your menu.

Helloo! I'm excited haha So I've kind of been looking into some different commerical raw companies, do you think they'd be suitable for my guys? There's a few local ones like Mountain Dog and Club Canine that make cat foods that I'm interested in. I can get raw food at cost price from my work, so I guess I'm kind of wondering if it would be the more economical way to go? I'm starting school in September, so I'm trying to be as.. thrifty as I can be. I Just don't want to keep my kids on kibble. So just let me know what you think I guess? Haha and I'll grab some chicken after work!

Commercial raw is great. However, as it is typically ground I would not recommend it as the primary diet. You still need bones and chunks and such to clean their teeth or they will get bad tartar buildup and their teeth will rot. However, as long as you still feed a few bones/chunks a week commercial raw is amazing. It is a great way to add in variety that you might not get otherwise.
I have heard of Mountain Dog, but I forget if they were good or not (you have to watch out some commercial raw has ingredients in it that is Not ok for ferrets), and I have not heard of Club Canine. So you have links for them? I will ask Sherry too as I believe she is the one who mentioned Mountain Dog...

Yup! I can't get you a link for sure www.clubcanine.net/products.shtmlTo my understanding its pretty local to my area - It says its located in Mission BC, which is the city right next to where I live! So that be pretty cool if it worked out. I can get Mountain Dog and Nature's Variety from my work - I get them at cost so that would also work out well in my favour Butttttt... I planned to get some chicken after work but realized a bill I wasn't expecting got paid and I left my Visa card at home (I tend to use it if I have it and thats never good ) So I didn't get any chicken yet.... BUT I WILL TODAY!
