Pork and lamb. I've not tried him with anything else yet but his slivers are almost a similar size to the ones he was on with chicken. He's still mad at me for taking chicken away I think. Hopefully the next protein he tries he'll like more but I need to get some bone in him. He's been getting eggshell powder and organs... I need to do his thing I've been forgetting sorry xx

It's okay, I know you have been having some issues and that's alright. I'm really happy that you have been upping his slivers and he is almost back on track. Chicken is a favorite of many (mine just think it's okay in any case). Have you been able to source any other proteins? We can try cornish game hen, sometimes the ferret that has a problem with chicken can eat CGH but it is technically the same thing. Otherwise we can try quail, partridge or pigeon, something that is slightly more similar to chicken.

I'll have a look again on Monday. The butchers said they'd order some but they seem not to be as reliable as I originally thought which is a shame considering this is how they run their businesses xx

Lol I'm super frustrated. Sorry I've been away so long. Stuff is just randomly difficult right now. Leo's fine but I really need to get myself in gear and start focusing on his switch xx

We've had some issues with Leo too. The protein trial also took us a little off ways.
Why don't we start with some pictures of Leo, his weight and what he is eating? Have you been doing the organs and heart? Have you started to source some other proteins for Leo? I am assuming pork is a good protein for Leo, so lets move on to another.

That's true. I'll take pictures and his diet tomorrow. He's been having his organs but I haven't tried to put him on other proteins yet. He's ok with pork xx

I'm so sorry... socks died and I've been out of it ever since. Leo is sick too I think from grief and the fact we're all grieving. He's been having diarrhea and has been moping around since he realised what was happening. I'll get some pictures and his weight and menu for you tomorrow. It's been one thing after another I'm sorry! Xc

Oh I'm sorry! Take your time. It does seem to be snowballing on you.

Speaking of snowballing I just lost Leo. There was a hole in the conservatory I thought had been patched up... I was doing the dishes and keeping an eye and ear out for Leo but then everything went quiet and I realised he wasn't there anymore. I've just come back from wandering around in the rain and dark looking for him. I've posted on the rspca Facebook page... I'm not sure what else I can do now except wait till the sun comes up... I really don't know what's going on anymore.

I honestly can't handle this. I don't know why this is all happening.

How can I help? If the program is becoming to much for you, we can move this thread to the vault and later when you are ready you can join the program again. But I don't want to give up on you or Leo if you still feel like you can handle the mentoring program. The program is not only designed to help the ferret but the ferrent as well. I just need to know how I can help you and what I can do to help you along. Again if you feel like you need to step back no one will judge or blame you and when you are ready you can request another mentor (hopefully I'll be free at the time) and you can start again. You already have a foundation set up.

I just got a phone call. It's possible Leo was hit by a car. The guy wasn't sure I just have a feeling that's what happened. I really hope not.
I'm sorry to tell you this but my dad just found his body. He was hit by a car. xx

I'm sorry Desiree. You've been really good to me and Leo. Thank you for all your help and hard work. Thank you for everything. I just can't stay here any longer. I hope you understand. Xx
