Quantity of raw food per meal?

[Deleted]

I've started a raw/whole food plan/journal. First is what they need on the diet I.e edible bone, muscle meat, organs + liver. Next is what constitutes these elements, giving an idea of what they can have. And next I'm about to write up the plan for prepreparing each day and week meals on delivery day for ease and for my o.c.d lol which led me to a couple of questions,

How much should a Kit and Adult get per meal is there an ideal portion size?

Also I will absolutely check with vet first (hopefully goes without saying here but making it clear) but are there any differences between what a Kit gets vs an adult or is it the same? Any supplements ect?

And last for my plan/journal is there any further must have information that I should have noted down?

Again thank you if you are able to help I sincerely appreciate  it. I want as much up-to-date  knowledge as I can acquire from those who know best, ferret owners

Ah....kits....little furry tummies with teeth . How much an adult eats depend on gender, age, health and season. How much a kit eats is about 4x the amount of an adult and is irrelevant, to gender and season. An adul jill/sprite will eat about an ounce to 3 onces, a hob/gibb will eat 3 to 6 oz per day. A kit grows an a hugely accelerated rate until they're about 6 months of age, their input and output is huge, their needs for calcium is also higher so adjusting their bone content in their diet will be necessary. They should be fed at 4x a day until they're 5 months at which time they will start stashing that meal. Then you drop down to 3 meals a day, dropping again when they reach around 9 months.
You will find an outline for a menu on site which all you have to do is fill in the blanks with the meats you can get in your area.

Kits are little blackhole tummies with teeth, they will usually eat a lot more than adults, and thus should always have food available to them (adults can have an AM and PM mealtime). Kits also need more calcium as they grow, so they will eat a few bone-in meals more than adults too.

On average an adult female will eat about 2-4oz, and males will do 3-5oz a day. But this can vary depending on their age, activity levels, which season it is and their overall health.
