Can I feed different meats together?

[Cynde]

I give Zydeco Fresh raw beef, chicken. Is it OK to mix together. Can I add fresh chicken gizzards? also what about fresh veal? Also get his salmon oil.

My Thor was raw fed. I remember most but forget some combo's. He gets fresh eggs, fish, etc.

Here us a good site on how to feed your ferret frankenprey--- how to alternate the muscle and bone and organ meals. Also the site gives a list of foods u can feed your ferret. holisticferretforum.com/natural-diet/raw-diet-the-meat-of-the-site/basic-frankenprey-menu/

I would not say it is bad to mix meats but keeping them separate might let you see if ferret is sensitive to a particular protein. Like some of mine get diarrhea with chicken ---no matter if it is bone-in chicken. Ferret also may just eat the favorite meat and leave the other. However, I do feed 2 times a day and the second meal is a different protein(not always) from the first meal. So mine will get 2 different kind of meats by the end of the day. Other than checking for sensitivities I do not think it would hurt. But some of the others who raw-feed might have better knowledge on this.

Be careful not to overdo chicken meals(sensitivities)---I noticed you mentioned gizzards. You know try to keep diet from being chicken heavy. People do feed their ferrets gizzards .

I buy lamb for muscle meals sometimes---it is expensive though. When buying lamb I have found that if the meat is near expiration date---it  may have a bad smell. I have punctured the plastic and took a whiff(LOL). Better than going back to the store.
