Feed the whole egg. I have one that LUVS quail eggs. I give her up to 3 a week. Not every week because I run out. If I am wrong on the amount u should feed, someone can correct me, but that is what I do.

I heard you are only suppose to feed a whole egg once a week. Not sure though but I have seen it somewhere on the forum.

I heard you are only suppose to feed a whole egg once a week. Not sure though but I have seen it somewhere on the forum. Quail eggs are smaller so can be fed more frequently. I feed 2-3 eggs (chicken) per ferret per week and up to 3-4 during shedding. This is just my way of feeding and the base for feeding egg can be similar to this. When it comes down to it, it can depend on the ferret. If a ferret is prone to hair in throat, a single egg a week may not help much.

Does it help with shedding? If so, how?

Yes they're USDA certified. What part off of the rabbit do I feed her for a bone in meal...Quail and duck as well. Any bone will do for rabbit. I feed the entire thing with my business. They eat everything. Quail whole or any bone too. Duck anything as well but wings and maybe necks are good.

I don't want to feed her any bones that will be too big. She is two and has been kibble fed her whole life (until now). She's VERY picky. She did take a piece of pork loin from me (size of a quarter) and she chewed on it and then hid it but never ate it.

The bones in quail, and rabbit aren't too big. Ferret have powerful teeth and jaws, which are designed for breaking up these kinds of bones. Naturally, the wild polecat will hunt these kinds of animals in the wild, so that makes these quite suitable bone in meats for ferrets. When you transition over to a raw diet, you may chop them smaller in sizes and gradually increase it. You don't necessarily have to give them [whole] bones straight away, (though you can try, it won't hurt) especially since you have a ferret who has clearly imprinted on kibble as a food of choice. Introduce the bone in meat how ever you like, gradually if you wish. The best starter bones is wing tips, but these are not suitable as bone in meats long term diet wise- you will need to work on it until your ferret can get used to and handle actual fleshy bone in meats.
