Okay for the organ meals let's do 3/4 organs and 1/4 heart. That ways she's getting all the stuff she needs. So there will be two of these organ/heart meals a week. You're correct heart is a muscle meat

No problem! I'm back at work and have a crazy schedule too! Kaijus fine, her new cage is almost ready (I've been sewing pan cover etc whenever I have had a spare minute) so will upload a pic when its all done Here is my menu I should have uploaded yesterday Mon: Chicken wing (1oz) Chicken necks (2oz) Tue: Hearts (2oz) ribs (2oz) Wed: chicken wing (1.3oz) pork chunks (2.2oz) Thu: Chicken necks (2oz) lamb cutlet (2oz) Fri: Heart liver and kidney (3oz) ribs (1.5oz) Sat: wood pigeon 4oz (half am half pm ate all) Sun: Heart liver and kidney (2oz - was running low on organs) Chicken necks (2oz) I'm going to find a substitute for chicken wings as she just won't eat them. 1oz is not much for one meal! So once they've gone I'll get something else

1 final down 2 more to go! Kaiju is eating great! Evanna barely eats 2 oz a day I couldnt imagine if she ate 4! But Kaiju is also going through her first winter so next winter she probably wont eat as much. Seems like you've got a big healthy girl!

Okay so honestly I think you are all switched and you seem to be balancing your menu fine. Do you think you'd be ready to graduate? You'll post a final menu and take a quiz I think you're ready, but if you feel like you still need the switching thread then we can wait. Remember that you'll always have me as a resource and you can add me on facebook if you have one :3

Final Quiz List 3 organs aside from liver. Give 2 examples each of muscle meat, edible bones, and organs. Are leaner meats better for your ferret or fattier meats? How can you tell if your ferret is getting too much or too little bone? What are some good emergency taurine sources if you run out of heart? About how long is a ferret's digestion time? How much and how often can egg be fed?

List 3 organs aside from liver.
Spleen, Pancreas, kidney
Give 2 examples each of muscle meat, edible bones, and organs.
Muscle meats (Tongue, Cheek) Edible Bone (wood pidgeon, chicken wings) Organs (Brains, Liver)
Are leaner meats better for your ferret or fattier meats?
Fattier meats
How can you tell if your ferret is getting too much or too little bone?
I wasn't too sure on this one so I'm going to go with checking their poop? Calcium from bone firms up their poop and lack of will produce runnier poops?
What are some good emergency taurine sources if you run out of heart?
Beef Tongue, dark meats, Taurine Powder is probably good to have just in case, and even though I don't use them, taurine is added to things like ferretvite and ferretone
About how long is a ferret's digestion time?
3-4 hours (unless you have a blockage scare in which case it feels like years)!
How much and how often can egg be fed?
I would say 1 or 2 a week no more. Either the yolk or the whole thing. Never just the egg white. I only feed mine the yolk otherwise its too much for her, and once a week

It looks good! Remember that ferretone and feretvite have a lot of sugar so we dont really recommend them for supplements. I'll also need a final menu from you to submit to the other mentors
