You might want to follow an organ meal with a bone in meal. Just helps to keep their poops formed better. Also I only counted 6 bone in meals. Should be at least 7. Looks like they and you are doing great though!

How are their poops? If they are pretty unformed they may actually need more then 7, the recommended is 7-9. The number you need will be based on how formed their poops are.

So I put some powdered egg shell in a mix of ground beef and turkey and set it next to a water dish for Panda since she's been lethargic from blockage protocol and I noticed she does something strange.. She'll grab chunks of meat and drop it in the water and start eating the meat that's in the meat dish, but then a few minutes later she goes back to the meat that she put in the water. Anyone else know why she would do this?

I've seen one or two other ferrets on the forum, do this water thing. They seem to know how they like their food. Once we figure it out, a switch moves forward a little faster. Panda likes hers wet. I would consider putting out two water bowls. One for her meat in the water bowl and one that is a little further away for just water. The one that she uses to bathe her food should be emptied, cleaned and refreshed after her meals. That way there is no chance of bacteria growing in the water. I change out the water bowls twice a day, but no one is dropping meat into it. lol
Your Panda just makes me smile. What a character with so much personality.

We had a bowl with a water jug attached to it for continual water, but Noodle and Panda have learned how to get underneath it and tip it over, so I had to put it up until I can get something to put under it to keep my carpet from getting soaked. She sure is a silly bug. I bought them a stuffed skunk dog toy with a squeaker in it and when I squeak it Panda goes crazy. She goes into hunter mode and snuffles and shuffles around until she finds it and then she tries to figure out why the stuffed skunk is talking but isn't alive, all the while dooking like crazy. Noodle just wants to stash it and snuggle with it.
