She can climb out of the play pen so I know you said quarentine but honestly its just isnt going to work. I have her health certificate and what not so I think I will be okay. But like I said I cant have her jumping out so shes going in the cage with shelby.

Oh no, a climber! LOL! I have 2 of those. They make ferret-proofing very interesting, and very frustrating.
So have you tried her on raw yet? What does Shelby think of her?

Thry both are climbers but they are getting along really. Well. First time I heard a real hiss from a ferret lol Yes I thawed my beef soup and feed her a couple ounces last night I gave shelby a quail leg and after nala ate she went over to shelby and took her leg. So I gave nala a quail wing and she ate it right up. And now she just eats what ever I put in front of her. Its amazing!

Just put her on shelby's menu. If she has trouble with something, cut it smaller for her. And where are my pictures?!

Shes being picky about the organs. So I just made her a thing of soup. I will try later to see if she will eat them. But I didnt want her to go hungry. This morning her poop was kinda funky not bad though. It was like an orangish greenish brown but solid so thats good!

Her poops will be all over the place for the next couple of weeks. They will be weird colors, weird textures, and horribly smelly. As long as her activity level remains the same, try not to worry. Make sure she has food available 24/7. She'll probably go through a lot of it. Try blending just her organs into soup. She might take them that way.

I think since its such a new place she doesnt sleep a whole lot. Shelby was thr same way. Once I get her on a schedule she will be fine. And that could help shelby eat her organs too.

So duck neck is great in this house according to shelby her poops have been soft from the organs this morning. They are also dark!! Anyways poor nala cant eat duck neck so I gave her more soup and I am defrosting some duck meat so she can try it the blending of the organs did shelby well she ate almost all except for a little bit in the bowl. She also remembers beef soup and wants apart of it haha.
