Sadly Marshalls. Though Loki is on Totally Ferret Active. Hoping we can switch her to raw before we run out so she won't have to eat Marshalls. We are already mixing the food though, just in case.
I'll see their poops tomorrow. Poor babies are being tortured by mom hehe.
I did put more meat chunks in than last time, but so far nobody has touched the chunks.

So nobody ate the chunks of chicken. I had to throw them out, though they did mostly finish the soup. Hmm. I fixed pork loins last night and the soup was a hit and the raw chunks were dissolved. Bonkers eats a little of the soup, but no chunks. Riley and Booth love the soups and Booth likes the chunks. Lincoln ate a very small amount; basically as little as he could without going hungry. Loki will not try anything. I dab it on her nose and she won't lick it. I try to open her mouth by pressing into the sides of her mouth lightly behind the canine teeth, but she won't open her mouth! Should I try to syringe feed her some soup?

If you know how to syringe feed, by all means. Just do it very slowly. Wow, what a stubborn little monkey Ok, no one touched the chunks. Cut them smaller, and mix them in well with the soup, see how they take that.

Well, Loki is also hard to syringe feed haha. I got the box of Wysong from Jackie so I'm going to mix their food with it. Having pork loins tomorrow evening, and we have LOTS so I plan on making a decent amount of soup that will hopefully last a couple days at least!

Try to make it a bit thicker to begin with. You can always thin it a bit if necessary. And yes, some are harder than others for syringing food(or anything for that matter) to ;D Let me know how the pork goes!

I feel like I'm getting nowhere Booth used to eat the chunks but not the last time. Everyone but Lincoln and Loki ate the soupies, so I put some in their mouths with a syringe and Loki let it dribble out. Lincoln ate it, but not much. I'm going to start mixing the Wysong with their kibble. Hopefully that will help. Man, this is hard!

Ok. Since you are having some problems with the stubborn little sods(and I can feel your pain here ;D ), start giving them what they WILL eat for soupies. Sometimes it seems like 1 step forward and 2 steps back, but they WILL get there. After all- you are more stubborn that they are, right? We'll just get and keep them all on the same level and move slowly forward from there. If the Wysong's helps with that, it's great

So sorry for the absence. Many obstacles keeping me from the net. I've not been able to fix soupies in a couple weeks. I'm hoping to try the pork again Sunday. I've been mixing their kibble with Wysong 2 and every one thinks of them as treats! haha So I'm hoping that will help switch them over. I keep forgetting to thaw out the meat Sunday is my only off day of work now, so I'll wrap them in 2s and put them in the fridge the morning I plan on making soupies (I got a pack of 12 pork loins for $12!) I did get them to try some pork baby food and everyone but Loki loved it. =] Would the baby food also help switch them over? Or if I add baby food to the soupies?

You can use either/or. If they are taking the soupies, you can use that, since they are familiar with it.

I'm sorry Sherry, but I guess I need to take a break. I've not been able to keep up with ferrets, let alone the rest of my life and the site.
