I just weighed him he is 2 pound 12 ounces. He has only been home for a couple days so I can't give you a menu yet. I will next week.

Good! Sounds like he gained 3 oz between now and the last time you gave me a weigh in.

This was his menu for the last week. I was going to give him his liver beef mix today but I forgot I had no bags to put the beef in when I opened the new package I bought today so he will have to wait till tomorrow night. I'll get his weight then too.
Friday chicken wing beef chunks
saturday pork chunks chicken wing
sunday chicken wing pork chunks
monday beef chunks chicken wing
tuesday chicken wing chicken wing
wednesday pork chunks chicken wing
thursday pork chunks(accidentally forgot to give him breakfast yesterday)

How has his stool looked lately? I'd be tempted to suggest adding one more bone meal, but if his stool is firm enough then there's no need. When you get the chance, can you give me a menu example (doesn't have to be exactly what you fed or the week) that includes liver?

I am not sure about his poop I haven't seen his poop right after he went recently. For his liver I mix 2 oz of beef with 1 oz of liver and I either feed half of it for one meal and half for another or I don't give him any food in the morning and give it all to him at night. I also mix three capsules of taurine in it. The day I feed it depends on my schedule that week but I try to do it within two or three days of each other. He is about 2 pounds 11 oz

I have a big problem he has been refusing to eat most of his chicken wings. I thought I was just giving him to much pork and beef so I cut the amount in half but he still isn't eating all of his chicken(he is eating more). He used to just leave a few bones sometimes now I am finding whole chicken wings in his house when I clean. He is still 2 lbs and 11 oz so he isn't losing weight and I don't know what to do about this because I know they need the bones.

So sorry about missing so much! I just took on a new job working up to (and sometimes over) 12 hours a day, so my time and energy has been used up from work and I've completely spaced on check in here (didn't even know it had been so long!). Have I given you my phone #? If I ever go more than a few days please feel free to text me and remind me or message me on FB (McKenna Schmitt).
What size are his chicken wing chunks currently? If he's not eating much you might have to go back to chopping them into slightly smaller chunks. Either that, or he's got his seasons reversed and is going through a spring shed which would mean his appetite has shrunk (this can also happen if it's unusually hot for a few days).

He has started to eat more of his chicken wings I think he realized he wasn't going to get what he really wanted and if he wanted to eat he needed to eat that.

Sorry I haven't been on here in a while I actually had a big problem on a rat forum where I was picked on and harassed by a few people and have been avoiding pet forums because it really bothered me. Mister eats his pork and beef chunks fine and I usually don't have a problem getting him to eat his liver and beef mix but he sometimes doesn't eat his chicken wings and I am worried about it. It's not like he wont eat it because he sometimes eats all or some of it but then other times I will find whole ones hidden in his house when I clean his cage. I don't know what to do about it and I am worried he isn't getting enough bone.

I think the best way to figure out what is going on is starting tomorrow when I do his liver and beef mix is start recording exactly the amount of chunks of each thing I give him and the next day check and record what he didn't eat and Ill take a picture of each type so you can see around the size of the chunks. I haven't tried to give it to him yet but I have lamb to try.

That sounds like a plan And sorry you had to deal with that kind of nonsense. It won't happen here, that I can guarantee
