My head is spinning with information at the moment. I've been reading through the files over the last couple of days, and I have convinced my husband to try the switch for our fuzzbutts. I am 100% in it and will do it myself if needed.
I should probably give you some info about my babies. Spaghetti is 6 and has insulinoma. Earlier this year he also injured his cruciate ligament and was on cage rest for a couple of months his energy level is very low, and my vet seems to think this is as good as it gets(which i am not willing to accept, and considering finding a new vet) and is they are not supporters of raw diets. Bruce is 4, and i already see his energy lowering, but still plays plenty. They are newly(just this week) upgraded to free roam fuzzbutts, except for at night.
My questions are,
1. Where does egg fit into the frankenprey menu? Is it more of a treat? And I understand that either the white or yolk is not okay for them to eat alone?
2. Where does Salmon oil fit in? Is that also more of a treat instead of ferretone? If so, how much can i give? Also what kind of salmon oil? I baught the cat version of the grizzly's because i understand that a ferrets diet is closer to that of a cat's, but also because the other brand of salmon oil they had, was for dogs and had other ingredients.
3. Because Spaghetti has insulinoma, once switched, I will simply have to make sure that he always has access to food? I'm concerned that Bruce will eat all of his and then whatever is left, leaving Spaghetti with nothing between meals.
4. What do you do during the switch to ensure a ferret with insulinoma has constant access to food?
5. Can i use Stella & Chewy's frozen to make a soupie to try and start getting them used to meat? Or is it not balanced enough?
I think that's all i have for now.
Thank you!
