The menu looks pretty good. I might be temped to get rid of one of the boneless meals and replace it with a bone in one, depending on the kibble you're feeding. Archetypal-1 has bone in it, but I'm not sure of the calcium content of EVO. I would watch the stools and see if they are really watery.
For fat, I include it whenever the meal has fat. Like monday is usually a chicken day here, they get all the skin that the chicken has. Same with turkey wing day. Beef and pork days I just leave all the fat on

One thing to keep in mind with feeding kibble and raw every day. Remove the kibble about 4-5 hours prior to giving a raw meal. Some do well with it, no problems, others have upset tummies, since they digest at different rates.

I dont know if this was mentioned but raw uncooked bones are different from cooked ones!! cooked bones *can* be dangerous because of splintering

Ok sherry, that's really good to know. I can feed the raw every morning and just leave the kibble for after
And thanks tara! I was wondering why people said never cook the bones.
Btw evo says it has 2.45% calcium
And evo says it has apples, carrots, alfalfa sprouts, tomatoes, cranberries and cottage cheese, how is this ok??

Those are only in there to please the buyers After all- if it's healthy for us, it must also stand to reason it's healthy for our carnivores However, the amounts are so small as to be almost negligible.

Is EVO the only kibble available/in your price range?

No no, price or anything isn't the issue. Evo to me just seemed like the best kibble for ferrets and wysong but that's too expensive to use as a staple
