i cant i am currently away from home and didnt bring the scale for the day so ill be home tomorrow and start monitoring the amount left. (i will post pictures and weight them tomorrow when i'm back home.) but i know they ate about 4 oz (2 oz in the morning and 2 oz around dinner) and im about to stick 3 more oz in the cage before going to bed for overnight since they licked the bowl clean for dinner.

Binxie is eating chunks fine and is actually starting to ignore the soupie more and search for chunks in it to take. Minnie will now take the chunk and eat it but i still have to hand feed her to get her to take it and she will only take a couple chunks and then refuses to take anymore.

On the back if you read the ingredients I believe that there is absolutely no meat in those and they are just veggie stuff and fillers. I would not give them to mine. I actually have a bag of them that I had gotten before I started the switch. They are a year old now, I guess between that and the fact I would not give them to the beasties anyway I should toss them lol! How did today go?

They have been finishing their meals i had to feed them three times yesterday. Minnie still only takes chunks from my hand today she wanted nothing to do with it i always try and give her the chunks before her meal so she is more willing to eat it but today she wasn't having it.
lol yeah I had treats in their bin from my first ferret Oreo from two years ago that i haven't even touched. I was going through their stuff everything got thrown away instantly. But the benefit of those chewies is it gets rid of all the tarter build very nicely so i figure i would ask but they are getting tossed as well if they are bad for them.
i also started giving them egg yolk. Only one so far but they love it so i thought that i would add that in as a treat since I no longer have any lol.

So is my goal supposed to be giving them less soup and more chunks until they are just on chunks?

Yes, that is the goal and then introducing easy to digest bones such as quail and chicken wings.
Sorry i was not on yesterday, the day kind of got away from me lol!
Can i see pics of the soup thickness and size of the chunks?

Chunks look to be a decent size. Is Minnie doing better with accepting them?
