If he is back to normal then touch wood you got lucky I would still give one raw egg a week through the year, and two during shed. The lecithin helps break up the data binding the hair together in the stomach, letting it pass through

If his poops are back to normal I would not continue the protocol. For a full raw diet a minimum of 3 types of proteins is best and the more the merrier. If you are just using it as a treat that's fine. The general thought with wild game is that you should freeze it for at least 4 weeks to make sure any parasites it may have are killed off and not put your baby at risk.

If you have an oil he likes (ie. salmon or olive), you could try that.

A small amount, perhaps a half teaspoon if you can get him to drink it.

I went to the pet store to pick up more food for Loki until I can get fully set up to raw feed. The lady at the store had 5 ferrets and swore by "natures valley instinct" I see on the front of the bag that it says "high protein, grain free ,gluten free, pure animal ingredients" being in a hurry I was like. "Sounds great and this lady has a lot of ferrets so so knows her food! I looked at the ingredients and saw that they include "carrots, apples, cranberries" can he even eat this? Here is a pic of the ingredient list.....
Sorry it's sideways

That is one of the better kibbles on the market. Cooked foods use vegs to add back vitamins lost in the process. Raw is better, but Instinct is one of the best you can get for kibble. There are a couple better ones, but most people have to order them online.

It's not my favourite recipe in that brand for the ferrets but yes he can eat that.

What is his behaviour like? If he isn't eating much he isn't going to be pooping much

If the kibble he is on is a higher quality(fewer bulk ingredients) he will also poop less.
