One thing I did forget to ask! The girls poo's seem greenish for the most part all the time....I really havent been giving them any EVOO either...they usually only change fo a bit when i feed organs(they become darker black color- which I think you said is normal)...There are a few light tan poos once in a while, but most of the time the poos are greenish. I do notice that the poos become more liquid like when I feed muscle meat with little to no bone meal...I assume this is normal too? Maybe the greenish poo is just their "normal"?
Maybe I just worry about everyone's stool to much?! LOL

Green poop can mean so many things, sometimes it's as simple as digesting food too fast. I'll ask heather and sherry because I'm not 100% sure, if they are acting fine I wouldn't expect green poop all the time. Every now and then is fine. Bone meal powder is great, egg shell works the same way. You can post pictures if you want, who doesn't love ferret pictures?

Weekly Menu for the girls! I portioned out there organs for the week on Sunday. So please note that I will write organ mix on the times that I fed the organs. This weeks organ selection consisted of a mix of Chicken Liver, Chicken Heart, and Beef Kidney. I fed about 1.3 Oz of Heart. .80 oz of Kidney, and 1 oz of liver PER FERRET, throughout the week. I will post girls together since they eat the same thing each day 1. Ferret's name:Zoe& Sophie 2. Ferret's weight: Zoe 1.83 lbs Sophie 2.14 lbs 3. Ferret has eaten "X" amount on average per meal. about 1.2 oz per meal, will eat some and come back later to finish the rest. 4. Stools on various proteins. Stools are normal per raw diet I think...green most of the time...Yesterday they had some more tan in them...starting to think the green is related to not having enough bone??? 5. Activity levels: Normal activity level for almost 5 month olds 6. Weekly menu: Monday AM: 1 oz each of chicken and pork w/ Stellas Duck. PM: portion of chicken wing each Tues AM: Portion of chicken wing each. PM: .5 oz each of organ mix with 1 oz pork and veal w/ Bone meal. Wed AM: Portion of chicken wing each. PM: 1.4 oz pork and veal w/ Bone meal each Thurs AM:Portion of chicken wing each. PM: .6 oz of organ mix each. 1/2 chicken neck each. Fri AM:Stella's Duck and Kibble. Set 2 mice out and Zoe ate both...Sophie still didn't want any GRR PM: .5 oz of organs each and portion of chicken wing each. Sat AM:Lamb and Chicken with Carnivore Raw 1.5 oz each. PM: 1/2 chicken neck each and remainder of organ mix (didnt weigh..guess I forgot LOL) SUN AM: 1/2 Chicken neck each and . 5 oz of lamb each. PM: portion of chicken wings each.

I will try to get pics of eveyones body shape tonight and pics of girlies poo.
Everything is going well for feeding...The only current issue I have with the girls is Sophie wont eat mice. Even if I give it to her when she is hungry , she just rather starve LOL...
Its not really relevant or a big deal but neither of the girls like the natures variety commercial frozen raw food...must taste different...
Thank you for all your help!

Well wouldn't you know that when I need to take a pic of green poo, No one has any! I find this very odd, and most were brown/tanish colors yesterday. SO I will get pics today LOL. So I decided to add new organs to this weeks menu starting last night and the girls were far from impressed *rolls eyes* Sophie very finickly ate pork liver but still ate it LOL but would not touch her ground beef pancreas. and Zoe would not touch her pancreas or pork liver so all she got for organs was a chicken heart....So Ill be working on getting them used to these...hopefully we dont have to resort to soup mix, cuz they are not fond of eating soupy stuff. When I got up this morning Shift had diarrhea only 2x tho...so we shall see how it looks at lunch. Cams poos are good eating our lamb soups mix consistently still

Organs are one of those things where sometimes they just wont eat a certain type. I'm a sucker and usually just mince it up and mix it with some sort of grind, like ground pork or turkey. Then they eat it.. My new poley Loki likes to eat around beef kidney though =/ lol. Little snots..
Shift looks a little thin, but they sure like to suck their sides in while they eat. Does sophie like any oil? Maybe try drizzling a little salmon oil or evoo on her mice? You could try and chop it up and mix it with something she does like, and then just slowly take out the stuff she likes till its just mouse. Menus look good!

I will try putting the organ in with something yummy first then. As far as oils yes Sophie kinda like EVOO but I thought about rubbing chicken baby food on the mouse too LOL, I sure hope Idont have to cut a mouse up cuz that would be awful I did give the girls beef kidney last night since they refused the pancreas LOL and tonight I will give them some chicken liver since they dont like the pork... Shift is THIN! poor baby. He used to weigh 2.2 lbs and now we are at 1.6 lbs (and it took forever to get him to 2.2 lbs) Shift has been very thin most of his life because he has battled several illnesses (and i used to feed crap food), yet he always seems to pull through somehow. The latest illness with the diarrhea and possible IBD or stress really took its toll and that is how he lost 6 oz. I really think he is going to start gaining weight again tho since he is doing better.

Here are the girls poos from last night that are green, and these are the most frequent poos they have. This image is poos from yesterday during the day from one litter box and this is the girls only. This image is also from yesterdays litter box during the day and is the girls only...if they are not green, they are this color.
