Keep in mind that the menu is simply a framework. As you have experienced, it will change some week to week. The "final" menu that you submit to us for graduation will NOT be your set-in-stone, never-going-to-change menu - it is simply a representation of what you are feeding now, that you know how to balance a menu, and you know how to make adjustments as needed.

For the bone meal powder, when you are in an emergency you can put it in a muscle meat. So like ground would be easy to add bone meal powder too and organs are a good way to put bone meal powder in.

@tessvictoria I am going to have to say no on the cat fish. The bones are so small and don't offer a lot of calcium vs like chicken wings or riblets.

Tonight it was only the 1/2 liver 1/4 brain 1/4 chitlins blended together, I didn't add any actual soupie to it but I guess the consistency tricked them because it's almost completely gone already! And that all sounds good, thank you for the info! Is there a specific amount of the bone meal powder per ferret if there is an emergency?

Alright thank you @tessvictoria. I will post up your final soon. As an FYI take your time. Try to not use the Internet. If you miss something or are not sure let me know then you and I can go through it to make sure you understand if you aren't ready to graduate let me know. If you have any questions please ask them. Also just because you graduate doesn't mean I won't answer anymore questions. If you are unsure of something or need help please message me and I will help you <3
