I used to get all my raw foods from woldsway but they have recently shut down. I am now using raw to go but they don't do rabbit, does anyone know of a online source of rabbit bone in mince. My ferrets will only eat bone in minces, chunks they won't eat anything on the bone.

Not sure ktjake. If you want to get them eating whole meats we can likely help you get there though.

They eat meat chunks and all bone in mince, I feed them chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, chicken and liver and beef and heart all bone in mince it all includes offal. They also eat mice and chicks, so think its pretty good diet isn't it ? When I put chicken wings in there still there in the morning, I will keep trying though. But how's there diet so far does it seem good ?

Yes it is, along with the mental stimulation.

Glad I checked back- on the phone I only saw the question about "why" what they are getting seems good as long as the ratios are okay. And if they are eating adult mice then that does the same job as the wings.

The bone in minces have a ratio of 80/10/10 they have a meal everyday.

I'm pleased I have nearly got there it's taken me sometime to get both eating raw , I have signed up for a mentor because I would like to get them eating more raw foods but also to make sure I am feeding the right amount each day of the minces as I'm not 100 % sure there getting enough each meal but at the same time I'm not sure I can feed larger meals of the minces because wouldn't this mean that they would be getting to much liver etc in a week ? I still can't fully get my head around it lol

However much they will eat! My females eat from 1-3 oz per day. My males from 2-5 oz per day. When first switched they eat about double that.
