Hello everyone! I'm new to the thread, and recently got my first ferret named Dandy! This will be my switching thread to monitor his food intake and to pose any questions if I stumble across some problems! I got him on Friday, 7/29/16, and he's two months old! 7/29/16Afternoon: Tried to feed him a thawed out Instinct Chicken patty. Everything I tried to feed him he spit and shook all over the place. Evening: Put the patty into his cage in hopes he would eat overnight. He didnt. 7/30/16Morning: Thawed Stella and Chewies Duck patty. Same as before, spit everything out, might have had a few licks. Afternoon: Warm Stella and Chewies Duck patty mixed with water, spit out. Evening: Devoured 1/2 a raw chicken wing!!! Seemed to really like it

7/31/2016 Morning: 1/2 Raw Egg with chicken meat pieces. Afternoon: 1/2 Raw Egg with chicken meat pieces. Evening: 1.5 chicken gizzards.
Still am unable to get him to eat the raw medallions, but I'm glad he's eating something!

The chicken wings and meaty pieces will be a lot better keeping his teeth clean.
Found any hearts of any kind?
As far as organs, I made soupy from lamb kidney and lamb liver(local farmer's Market and Hare Today). They would not eat it chopped. I also had to jump start a couple of my ferrets by finger feeding them the organ soupie a few licks before they would eat out of saucer.

I know his diet is a bit chicken heavy right now, but we're just glad he's eating something! Planning on trying to find the nearest butcher by the end of the week however, to buy some more organs for him and different proteins.

When you say he can't eat other bone in meats are you saying he is having trouble with the bones?
