Day 17 Feeding 1. Ferret's name: <Mimi> [Precious] (Logan) 4. Ferrets have eaten a total of 9ounces for the whole day of the soupie. The last 3 ounces of soupie for night feeding was mixed with 6 ounces of larger than 1/2" chunks of chicken thighs. The last 3 ounces of final mix was untouched but added a couple drops of salmon oil and all 4 are fighting to get at the bowl to eat the chunks. 5. Stools: Still soft. Due to the introduction of larger chunks, their poops are back to seeding. 6. Activity levels: 4.5 hours of free roaming the bedroom. 7. Weekly menu: 50% soupie / 1/4"-1/2" chunks mix 8. Stresses of the day: - A total of 4.5+ hours free roaming the bedroom. - Introduced a couple drops of salmon oil to their last of the night feeding consisting larger than 1/2" chunks of chicken. 9. Notes: - Mimi is playing rougher with Precious. The same exact way that Wade does to her (head butting, neck biting, throat biting) - Precious plays harder now with Logan, making him yelp in pain. But he didn't run away from her, instead, he got away from her grasp, pounced on her back and started biting her scruff.

She made him cry out during play. - Logan is starting to become more vocal by dooking during play. Not loud, but soft.

Day 27 Feeding (3) / Day 18 Feeding 1. Ferret's name: <Mimi> [Precious] (Logan) "Wade" 4. Ferrets have eaten a total of 18 ounces of new mix 25% soupie (beef liver, beef heart, pork and beef ground) / 75% chunks (75% large chicken chunks with 25% small chunks of beef liver, beef heart, and smaller chunks of pork and beef). These definitely contain bone meal. 5. Stools: mixture of soft, firm, and very loose. 6. Activity levels: 1 hours of free roaming the bedroom during my breaks. Forgot to let them out during my nap and now I feel like a horrible ferrent! I'll make up for it since Wednesday is their longer free roam during the day because of their weekly meal prep. 7. Weekly Menu: AM Feeding: 6 ounces 25% soupie (beef liver, beef heart, ground beef and pork) / 75% chunks (mostly chicken with small chunks of beef heart, beef liver, pork loin and beef) PM Feeding: 12 ounces 25% soupie (beef liver, beef heart, ground beef and pork) / 75% chunks (mostly chicken with small chunks of beef heart, beef liver, pork loin and beef) 8. Stresses of the day: - Only allowed 1 hour of free time out throughout the whole day 9. Notes: - Found the second culprit if the hangry ferret! I've witnessed Mimi, living up to her diva name, soon as she heard me come home from work, in the dark, she made her way down from her sleeping level to their feeding level and threw the plastic bowl! Of course I obliged and fed them, then all three older ones heard the commotion, ate, then went back to sleep. Logan, being the deafie he is, dead slept through the whole commotion. - Logan or Mimi had a sneezing fit in the middle of the night that woke me up out of my own sleep! They've never done it before so totally keeping an eye out for it. Although, this happened during their play time with each other because after I went to investigate the cage with my phone flash light, they looked at me like I was disturbing their playtime biting and pawing at each other in their beds and continued on. Listened for another hour and no repeats of the sneezing. Read more: holisticferret60.proboards.com/thread/23723/unofficial-transition-mimi-precious-logan?page=4#ixzz4zosjNM1h

Mimi, Precious and Wade were not amused. Logan didn't seem to mind. - Systematically gave them less food to see if I could get them below 18 ounces of food, didn't work. They woke me up 4am throwing their food bowls around. Waited a good 10-15 minutes to see if they would stop, they didn't. They only stopped when I finished their meal, totaling again to 18 ounces... - Introduced a new litter box and all figured out it was their new go to for pooping and peeing! Score! ^_^ 9.

Day 30 Feeding (3) / Day 21 Feeding 1. Ferret's name: <Mimi> [Precious] (Logan) "Wade" 2. Ferret Weights: "1200g" (990g) <941g> [1269g] 3. Ferrets have eaten a total of 14.8 ounces of 1:1 mix ratio of bone in chicken wings and beef chunks. As suggested by an admin, will keep proteins separate from here on out. 4. Stools: mixture of soft, firm, and very loose. 5. Activity levels: 9 hours free roam time 6. Weekly Menu: See #3 above 7. Stresses of the day: - 9 hours free roam time - Played ferret bowl on tile haha - 1st day of Frankenprey Menu. 8. Notes: ○ Mimi - Still can't figure out why the weight loss. She's getting more and more active since I first got her. Taking more exploring high places. Thank God she's hasn't fully learned to scale my bed or the side of the cage. She's eating. She pees and poos normal. Her nose is wet. She's getting bolder and war dances at me when I play with her and even does a tackle bite play with my fingers and jumps and latches on to my legs. Heck, she's even the second one in the business to go straight for bone in meals. Her body temperature to the touch doesn't feel cold or extremely hot. Her fur is getting more body to it. She's the one that throws the hangry tantrums and throws around the feeding bowls in the cage. Her color is changing at the tips. It's getting darker than when she first came in to my care when she was kibble fed. ○ Wade - This little devil went from being just that to being the 1st one in the business to start giving me licks. Very surprising. His bites are now mostly for play, like when he lies on his back and grabs my fingers with his 2 front paws or tries to bite it. No more malicious intent. He's really warming up to me. And very surprising to be the first one to eat bone in meals! He has started a new thing where he flat ferrets at my feet to get attention. We'll see if he continues doing so in the next couple of days. ○ Logan - His increase in size is just astonishing. Seeing his growth spurt is something else. Being able to fit in the palm of my hand to barely fitting on it is extremely rewarding. He's getting bolder and bolder. Still puffs up during play and goes for my fingers when they are in reach and latches on to my legs or pants legs. He is not very vocal, but he will get spurts here and there. Definitely lets me know when he's hungry and when he hasn't had enough free time out of the cage. ○ Precious - She's learning from Mimi and with her fuller figure wants to try climbing things. She's getting rougher in play towards Logan. She'll still run away from Wade but then goes back for more play. Still does the whole grabbing my fingers while she's on her back and doing "ferret pull ups." Even though she's the fattest of the business, she can still keep up with them. Same thing, her nose is moist, body temperature to the touch doesn't feel cold or extremely hot. Definitely more energy than when she was on kibble fed.
