Sorry about the slow reply. I thought it would be easier when I could sit at my computer rather than use my mobile phone and I've been pretty busy.
1.) How many eggs should a ferret eat a week and should it be the yolk, white or both?1 chicken egg per ferret, per week. ore if they're quail eggs, but I have free range chickens and wouldn't have a clue where to buy quail eggs.
2 eggs per ferret per week during malting season.
Edited because I missed part of the question. It should be the whole egg or just the yolk. Never just the white.
2.) Give 3 examples of edible bone in meals.Chicken wings or necks
Turkey wings (although larger bones may be difficult)
Duck wings or necks
3.) Is heart a muscle or an organ meal or niether?Heart is technically a muscle meat although for the purposes of balancing the menu, we treat it as its own category. Heart can also be given extra in place of any of the muscle meat meals.
4.) Name 3 organs.Liver
Kidney
Brain
5.) What is the average length of time that it takes for a ferret to digest a meal?3-4 hours
6.) Is it best to leave food out all day for them or feed them a strict amount at a strict time?It's best to ensure food is out all day, especially for growing kits or those with insulinoma. Old food should be taken away and fresh food given twice a day. If you want to leave any of the previous food out, follow the guide to how long each type (eg soup, chunks, bone in etc) lasts.

Notes:I intend to find a larger variety of organ meats and will rotate those into the organ spots, leaving the liver the same amounts.
I know where I can get duck liver and lamb liver, so I will rotate those through with the chicken liver.
I know where I can get duck hearts, so I will introduce those into the heart meals as soon as I get some.
I fully intend on trying some fish and will include that sometimes. No more than one meal a week.
The beef mince will be beef chunks again next time I need to buy some. That is just what was available at the time.
I hope that's ok. thank you again for all your help. I'm glad you didn't find it too boring.
