Hi everyone
Just grabbed some cornish hen from the store and butchered it into ferret sized pieces. Most of the pieces, excluding the breast, have bone in them. Are there any rules about which cornish hen bones cant be eaten?
Also, when i got the cornish hen i grabbed a jar of squash baby food. If i use this as opposed to pumpkin (all out) do i follow the guidelines as if it were pumpkin?
Thanks Cyd

Cyd, mine eat cornish hen all the time. They pretty much pulverize all the bones. For the thigh bones, I give them a good smack with my meat cleaver to break them up but I have less "leftovers" with cornish hen bones than I do even with chicken bones. Your kids will love them. And as far as I know, the only rule as to which bones your ferret can eat are which bones your ferret WILL eat.

Good to know. Weasel (super creative name, i know lol ) manages to power through chicken leg bones, so i have a feeling the little cornish hen bones wont last very long. Thanks for your help

The squash should be the same as pumpkin. You might need to use more, since it's usually watered down a bit. Just experiment and see what works

And just another thing, I've used squash and mine like it just fine. I usually mix in a little in the weekend organ soupie.
