I'm in the process of introducing Spleen to them! They are doing great with bone and other organs I'm still working on Sponge with the raw soup!

Are they eating whole bones yet? And how many proteins now? Post their menu for this week here, what they actually eat, so I can make sure it's balanced. You're doing very well with them. If they're eating their organs and bone in meats, we can start talking about getting you graduated!

I smash the bones up for them still because they seem to eat it better that way. Coco stashed a whole chicken thigh bone the day before, but he didn't eat the whole thing. Here's the menu : Sun AM: organ meal - ½ chicken liver, ½ pork kidney Sun PM: edible bone-in meat - CGH Mon AM: edible bone-in meat - quail (they love this) Mon PM: edible bone-in meat - rabbit (they love this too) Tues AM: chicken heart Tues PM: edible bone-in meat - chicken wings Wed AM: muscle meat - fatty cut of beef mixed with egg (and just some notes for me lol: whip egg with warm water and pour over it) (ground beef, fatty chuck roast, any fatty cut of beef) (this is the only thing I haven't given them yet, the beef or egg but I'm sure I can convert them!)Wed PM: edible bone-in meat - quail Thur AM: beef or pork heart and organ (½ chicken liver, ½ spleen) Thur PM: edible bone-in meat - rabbit Fri AM: edible bone-in meat (or muscle) - CGH Fri PM: edible bone-in meat - CGH Sat AM: chicken gizzard (and I have yet to give them this)Sat PM: edible bone-in meat - quail So...the beef, egg, and chicken gizzards they haven't tried yet.

That looks good! This next week, start them on the beef and see how that goes. The egg they'll probably like. I don't expect any protests over that, but the beef they might resist. Let me know how it goes.
Is there anything diet related that you still have questions about? I'm going to work on pulling together some questions for your final "exam".
Is Sponge eating the raw soup yet? Any improvements on them getting along?

Okay, will do And nope! I don't have any questions! Sponge is not eating it yet. I put some on his nose but he just wants to sleep all day lol I'm thinking of trying to syringe some to him. Um, all three still do not get along. I'm terrified to let them fight each other.

Rather than possibly stressing Sponge by syringing it, try rubbing some on his gums and tongue. He is still eating something, right?

Yes, definitely. I still leave out dry kibble for him.

What happened to the kibble soup to transition to raw soup?

I still am giving him the soupie, I just leave out dry kibble overnight for him to eat whenever he gets hungry. The kibble soup hardens and I feel like he can't eat it very well.

Ok. Have you started adding raw soup to it yet? How does he like it?

So far, he doesn't like it I'm just sticking my finger in his mouth every day with soupie on it.

Also, does your ferts fight over their food with each other? Coco and Chanel have always eaten out of the same bowl since I got them, they never had trouble, but now they'll hiss and attack each other to try and get a piece out of the bowl and run away to eat it. Lol

Food fights are normal, especially when it's something they really like. My first food fight was over a duck wing and most recently, we had a fight over pork lung. As long as you're sure you served enough for both of them, let them fuss. One will win and the other will end up going back to the dish.
