I'm really struggling to get them to eat without making it a negative situation. Sometimes Usagi will eat when I lead her and she'll stay and eat for a little but not much. And I can hardly lead Akira to the dish even when it's right in front of her, if the spoon in not right in front of her she's not going to eat and if there's an opportunity to run she's going to run. On average maybe 0.5 oz of what they eat individually is some what willing and anything else I pretty much made them eat. And then they happily eat their kibble at night. Even the day where they went the whole night without eating the still have no enthusiasm about eating the raw at any point of the day.

They ate pretty easily this morning I lead akira in and then usagi came on her own, they both ate from the dish together which hasn't really happened before, they don't seem to ever mind eating together it's just been hard getting 1 to eat let alone both at once lol. Akira actually seemed to be really hungry today, I caught her eating a dried silver of meat that usagi must have stashed so I brought them out some more food, there was just a tiny bit still out already but I brought out a fresher batch and she ate from it for a little. I feel like she must have liked that dry bit she found though because even after she ate from her dish she went back looking for more stashed bits. I'm not worried that it was old just wondering why she would go for that instead of her food that was already there? Overall both ate pretty well today It didn't take much leading for them to eat. Hopefully this will continue tomorrow. 1. Ferret's name: Akira 2. Ferret's weight:745g 3. Ferret's Daily Medications: None 4.

They slept a lot today so I didn't get a much opportunity to feed like yesterday, when they did eat I just had to lead them a few times.

Usagi was not very interested in food today. And when she does eat anything a bit larger than a fingernail tip she just wants to run off and eat it else where one bit at a time which then makes her lose interest in eating all together. I try to close the door so she'll just eat inside the cage but it doesn't really make a difference as far as attention span. A part of me thinks they hold out for kibble because the moment I bring out the kibble they are all over it even if I had just fed them the raw. We had a good day Tuesday, that did not last lol. Also neither are eating on their own, I guess that one time was a fluke, but on the plus side I haven't had to hold them to get them to eat all week (excluding usagi today) usually I can bring usagi to the food and she'll start eating, and kira just needs a quick dab and she'll eat.
I need to restock on kibble and I figured i'd try some treats again besides salmon oil. I know Orijen is a good brand but chewy doesn't carry them anymore and on amazon a lot of people say it usually comes in crumbs. Anyone ever try Vital Essentials Rabbit Bites Freeze-Dried Dog Treats? The ingredients just say Rabbit, Rabbit Liver, Rabbit Kidney, Rabbit Heart, also there's no bone in these.

I got them to eat together this morning they pretty much ate their whole serving besides a few scraps, around their nap time Akira ate the scraps on her own sadly there wasn't much out and I didn't have the next batch thawed out enough for her to eat so a bit of a failed opportunity on my part but at least she made the effort. Then the rest of the day neither wanted to eat so I had to hold them to get them to eat the little they did, and Usagi was the same as yesterday she would only take a little and run across the room with it and usually wouldn't even eat it. 1.

Usagi ate a little on her own today. But she's also still trying to stash a lot, I feel like they hold out for kibble because even after akira eats she tries to find dried stash bits meaning she still wants to eat just not the raw, and Usagi will rush to the kibble even after she ate as well. I try to make sure I give them raw before kibble comes out or when they are already asleep and it's never at the same exact time. I tried to give them those Vital Essentials Rabbit Bites Freeze-Dried Dog Treats but they wouldn't even try it, I left a couple out and they disappeared but i'm pretty sure no one ate them. i'll add a couple with their kibble and see what happens.
