How long have you been feeding raw? What varieties of protein have your ferrets accepted with soup (if any)? For any they've accepted, you may be able to finely sliver pieces and try it out. Mine were young when transitioned so I skipped the soup phase, but I'm sure there will be lots of advice incoming!

Very small pieces of raw meat should be fine to give them, it may even encourage them to start chewing on meat so you can transition them faster.

You can do 3 things. 1# Put the switch on hold until you can reorder a blender  or 2# Go full manual. (Make the soup entirely my hand, using a cleaver) Trust me I did this. I do this for organs since I still have no blender. The only issue would be it will not go to the same consistency. It will be little chunky rather than smooth, but it can be done if you're desperate. 3# Go straight to slivers and hand feed. If you have a young ferret, this one would be the best course of action. |

You didn't by any chance put gizzards in also? I'd pick up a food processor. You can get a Hamilton Beach or a Black and Decker for under $30 and they're better designed to handle food. Blenders tend to be better for liquids. www.amazon.com/food-processors/b?ie=UTF8&node=289920 |

In a pinch, you can get ground meat and mix it into a soup with some warm water. As for the heart and liver ingredients, just make the pieces as tiny as you are willing.

If you happen to have a baby food maker (read: teeny tiny food processor) then that would work for up to 5 ounces of food per blend! That's what I do for their organs so I make sure they eat the same amount.
