Okay. Good to know. I have a friend whose husband is hoping to get two more deer & she'll ask him to save the hearts for me since he field dresses on the spot. Considering the size of a deer heart compared to a chicken I'll guessimate on the amount. In the meantime, I'll keep up with the taurine & try to find a butcher shop I like. :-)

Look at a couple ounces per fert for heart.

They have no problem with the taurine (since I mix it in with the barf) or I mix the giblets & heart with the barf mixture & they don't even notice the addition. Suckers. ;-)

Just thought I would post that Bubbles is on pred & diazoxide (sp?) now. She also has a heart arrhythmia, she had an EKG today & we'll have the results tomorrow. She might need to be put on more meds. Poor little Bubbles is either 9 or over 9 years old now. Such a trooper though.

They continue to do pretty good with the added heart & giblets. I'm gonna look into Whole Foods for heart since it will be organic until I can find a butcher I trust. I'm checking with a friend to see when her hubby plans on going back out deer hunting so that I can snag a heart or two. :-)

PS-> Doodle is getting better. Less persuasion needed for her.

Congratulations You've graduated and you're ready to walk this path alone, now. You have the foundation to help you feed your fuzzes in a more natural and healthy manner. Please remember that your learning never stops, and dietary needs change from ferret to ferret (as I'm sure you are more than aware of) and throughout each their lives. I would also like you to be aware that though you now have the capability and the knowledge to create and adjust your little ones diets, you are never alone and that your mentor (you need only pm) is always available to you. The list is also a very good resource and you should always be aware that it's available to answer any questions you may have either about diet or care. Despite graduating, please continue to search out other protein sources to expand and improve your little ones diet. Good luck, in a few days either Sherry or I will lock down this thread. If you wish to update your menu do so now as it will be viewed and can be used by yourself and many others at any time as a reference tool. Once it gets locked down you will not be able to post or change it. Your mentor will be in to congratulate you shortly . Congratulations again ciao
