Hi everyone, I have just joined and have a question regarding bone in feeding. Im feeding my lad an all raw diet meat and offal mainly. I try giving him chicken wings on the bone but he just won't touch them. Is there any way I can get him to eat them as I would like him to have a full balanced diet including whole prey.

If he is healthy and relatively young, just give him wings for the next 3 days. Each meal time, remove the old wing, and replace it with a new one. Here is a method for treating the wing for beginner ferrets holisticferret60.proboards.com/thread/18359/smashing-bone-beginner-ferrets

Thank you, will do. I've been feeding him with larger chunks of meat lately so as to ween him up and get him used to bigger bites. Make him bite and tear and not to just chew. He is well fed and quite well balanced, he get heart and liver a couple of times a week. Egg every so often too, just no bone. Thanks again.
