Your other ones were from google photos, right? It's easier to do pics on a computer because mobile just messes everything up  even the desktop version. I kept struggling with my phone and tablet, and then gave up. So pics happen on the laptop. Right click the google photo and copy the image url, then paste it into the "insert image" option box. It works better than uploading it directly here. |

Also I should mention if you want you can add me on Facebook, I am creatively called Sveta Gosteva there. If you have a quick question or anything, I probably would answer faster there. But all switching info goes here, where it is stored in one place.

Hello Hello! Just checking in, how are you and Sophie doing? Hello! Ok her soups are still a cream consistency. I keep sneaking in about 10-15 slivers. Yesterday was pork slivers. She ate about 6 of them without help! Yay!! She used to hate pork. I only sneak in slivers every couple days. She still pigs out and eats 1oz every 6 hours. She loves eggs! She had that yesterday as well. She eats all of it. So far chicken is her favorite meal. She decided lamb and beef are poison lol. I'm going to chop up a CGH wing tonight. I'm hoping if I drizzle it in something she likes she'll eat some of it. We've been at this since December ? |

@sveta omg!! I just about peed myself I was so excited LOL. I put a CGH wing in her soup. This is the 3rd attempt with that. I meant to come back to help feed her after putting my kids to bed, but I fell asleep. I came back this morning to the whole wing eaten, except a tiny piece of the tip. She didn't stash it!! She ate it!! Now I need some ideas for similar pieces so I'm not just feeding CGH wings. I don't have a lot of options locally for special type of meats  just lamb, CGH, duck, pork, chicken, turkey, and hearts and livers. Whole prey is my goal though! I'd have to order th st because the pet stores only carry rats and mice. |

Oh what a good girl  Congratulations (dance) That is very good! Sometimes they do take to chunks very suddenly. I just had my foster boy do that a couple of days a go. I was feeding him the tiniest slivers with water by a spoon (and he was acting like it was very very hard to eat those), then one evening I happen to catch him eating from everyone's communal food bowl with the big meat chunks. That little sneak isn't going to be getting little baby food treatment anymore With Sophie you really should try splitting the meals into 2 bigger ones rather than 4 small meals. She will be a bit hungrier before each meal and more enthusiastic to eat, being less likely to be picky about the sliver/chunks and protein variety. Adult ferrets will not eat meat that has gone bad, they can smell when the meat has more bacteria than they can handle. See if she eats chicken thigh chunks at the same size as the heart ones  It looks like you added some soup to heart meal, add the same amount to the muscle meals. If she takes that well, then you can work on making the soup thinner to replace it with water. So she ends up eating chunks with water |

She hid it under the dresser twice. Lol. Yes, I lightly coated heart with soup. I tried to do chunkier in my blender with no water and it still came out creamy. I'll just cut up the next batch this week. I did notice she doesn't eat in between 1-9 am so I can definitely lessen the frequency of her meals like you suggested. She's such a pig and acts starved lol. Oh! I keep forgetting to weigh her again. I'll do that a little later today. How do you want me document her progress? Pix are great for me so I look back how chunky her meal was and if she took to it or not. |

Lightly coat the muscle meat with soup as well, just like the heart chunks. Haha they act starved, but they really aren't feed her as much as she wants during the 2 meals. In the wild ferrets may find food only every few days and they keep the rest stashed in their dens. Make sure to tell me how it goes! |

For the format of the posts:
-Tell me what meat the meal/meals were made of.
-The consistency of the soup, and the size of the meat bits.
-How much/how well she ate it.
-And a picture would be great.
You can tell me this every couple of days as you can. Write about the points that i mentioned for every different meal.

Ok today we are trying chunks and slivers mixed. (It's the soup recipe, not blended just cut up). I covered it with a bit of water. She ate a couple bites and went back to sleep. I did take a pic of her meal.   |

So my little weirdo wouldn't touch what I made her earlier, all day. (Forgot to mention it was about an oz). So I blended it into a pudding consistency, (2oz) hid a CGH wing in there...well, came back to all the soup eaten and most of the wing gone except the tip..again lol.  |
