Okay I will watch her. Like I said I think its new but I cant rememeber because I stressed myself out with the watery poops. I currently hand feed her she kind of eats out of the bowl but not really.

You may want to put kibble out for her tonight then. Tomorrow when you do her soup you could try to sprinkle some crushed kibble on top of it and see if she eats it on her own. A sprinkle of crushed kibble is not going to cause an upset.

I also thaw her soupie out with warm water. I just run a plastic baggie with ice cubes in it under warm water. is that acceptable? So for now nights will be acceptable to feed kibble till she eats it by herself? I have .75 oz of soupie in the fridge that's thawed that she didn't eat earlier I will put it in her bowl and see if she will eat it herself.

Alright so update. I tried her on feeding her by herself she ate the whole .75 oz by her self. So then I thawed another three cubes under luke warm water they weighed about 2.45 oz. She ate some of that. the plastic container that I feed her in weighs 1.10 oz and with the soupie she didn't eat it weighed 2.80. She ate a total of around 1.5 oz give or take. I also had to add some warm water to the soupie because it was really thick and shes just getting the hang of thicker food. That's why I said give or take on ounces.

So this is most recent poop. Its watery and it looks like the chicken soupie I give her. My soupie is a little on the stringy side. So I was making sure that this is still an okay poop. Can I have some feed back? Ive noticed with this recent switch she doesn't dribk as much water and it kind of scares me especially with those watery poop she gets fresh water almost every hour because she makes a mess. Or maybe I just don't see her drink it I don't know. Shes been playing like normal she has a lot of energy so I assume everything is okay. What do you guys think?

The short digestive tracts of a ferret do make it so that what comes out does look very much like what went in. Try adding some more eggshell to her soup, like I said in another post she may need more. If she is eating soup on her own I would do away with the kibble and just do the soup. Ferrets that eat raw rarely drink water because the food has enough water content for them. They do still drink it but not often, they should always have a source of fresh water available to them.

Lol yes she will eat a lot for a while yet. If you want to put out 2 oz sat a time until you figure out how much she is eating during the day that's ok. When you have it figured out you can go to twice a day feeding s to make it easier on you.

If you are putting out enough food to split into 2 feelings she will have food available all day. So if you have figured out that she eats a total of 12ozs A day then you can split that so she gets two 6oz servings. Again she will have food available for her to eat when she is hungry all the time.
