I've read that you can give them the shell on the boiled egg as well. Is that right?

Raw egg is better, otherwise it's more along the lines of an limited-use treat like cooked meat would be. Some people feed shells, but lots of ferrets probably won't eat them.

I only allow with shell when it's raw quail eggs because my lot enjoy smashing them open, so it's mostly just for a bit of enrichment experience. I only do raw eggs for our ferrets, cooked foods have most of their nutritional value lost from being cooked as compared to when they are given raw.

Good to know! I was just about to make Bfast so their egg won’t be messed with (: and no white part, right?

It's always best if you can give the egg with white and yolk whipped together/scrambled with a fork. I've found room temperature eggs have the white less gloopy and allow it to mix together easier. Though I still have one who doesn't like the whole mixed egg and will only eat yolks, so he gets just the yolk for him. The white should just never be given by itself, as over time it can lead to a biotin deficiency.

Do you buy your quail eggs online? I can't seem to find any where I live.

I get mine from an Asian store up in the city from where I live. Most Asian stores and markets will tend to have some. I think you could buy them online, but I've never tried that myself.
