It varies in terms of where the items go each week, for example i would have rathered not do the duck neck two meals in a row like that. But, it was what we're calling Hot Mess Monday hahaha. It was the only thing I had thawed in a pinch. The poo situation is stupid in my house right now. Cat is minorly constipated from stealing ferret's food and getting too many bone-in meals. Dean smells like liver. I think he rolled in it. Both boys have organ diarrhea

Congratulations You've graduated and you're ready to walk this path alone. You have the foundation to help you feed your fuzzes in a more natural and healthy manner. Please remember that your learning never stops, and dietary needs change from ferret to ferret and throughout each their lives. I would like you to be aware that though you now have the capability and the knowledge to create your little ones diets you are never alone and that your mentor (you need only pm) is always available to you. The list is also a very good resource and you should always be aware that it's available to answer any questions you may have either about diet or care. Good luck, in a few days Sherry will lock down this thread and place it in the archives but be aware that you can always look through it as a reference tool but you just will not be able to post to it. Your mentor will be in to congratulate you a few.. Good luck ciao

Weeeee!! Thank you Heather! Sherry, thank you so much for your help! I can see how over-complicated I thought the whole process was, so much so that I was afraid to just go for it! I hope every ferret that comes along is as easy to transition as the boys were for me, but I know that won't be the case without your help I'd still be struggling to find the organ balance and they'd probably be stuck eating chicken wings and duck necks their whole lives hahaha. Having this opportunity available helped me move off of using just grinds, and to a diet that is balanced and more financially feasible. Most importantly, my two boys are on the best diet they could be and I can keep up with the girls' needs too so their breeder's work wasn't undone in starting them on a healthy diet. The changes in my boys' teeth are amazing, and their coats are great with their recent sheds. Aside from all of that, I love that since they've transitioned I can offer them ANYTHING and they'll be gung-ho about trying it! They don't hesitate to grab anything if I present it in a bowl. I love not having to panic about a kibble being difficult to find. If I mess up and run low on food, it's easy enough to grab something they'll happily eat. I wish I had been able to do the mentor program sooner, but the timing just wasn't right. I've learned so much about nutrition and my ferrets through this experience and have gained confidence in my abilities. A year ago if you told me I'd be handing over mice to my ferrets, or portioning a rabbit, I'd have told you that you were crazy! Heck, a few weeks ago I even roasted a turkey for us HUMANS and was marveling about how I never thought I'd be okay manhandling it, but it seems like nothing after the rabbit experience! Sherry, I look forward to continuing to pick your knowledge base and figuring out the kitty, and keeping you updated on the weasels!
