What %'s of meats should ferrets eat?

[amberful]

I remember reading somewhere it was about
5% liver, 5-10% other organs, then like 15-20% chicken/turkey then the rest other meat?

I've been currently feeding my ferrets 1 chicken wing or thigh (matters what I get that week for them) a meatball size of liver, and one ground beef meatball. That usually fills both of them up. Trying to find places around me that sell other organs such as hearts and chicken necks but nobody has them. I know a place that sells raw mice.

Most would be 5% liver, 5% other organ, about 10%-15% bone, the rest muscle meats. All of the above need to be made up from a minimum of three different proteins. Doesn't matter what those proteins are. They could be beef, rabbit, pork.

If you ask your grocery you might be able to get some stuff in. I asked and could only order hearts and such in huge quantity but since then they have started putting out turkey giblets with liver/heart/gizzards in them and turkey necks. I can buy turkey, chicken, cornish game hen, duck, lamb, pork, beef and some fish locally. I get whole prey from rodentpro but you can put an ad on craigslist or talk to a reptile/pet store, and I get organs and rabbit meat from hare-today.com.

Thank youu ~

I got another question, What kind of mice should I feed them?
The place I can get them from has these
Pinks, Fuzzies, Hoppers, Sub Adult and, Adult
This will be their first time eating whole prey raw

Some take to it right away, others... Not so much ;D
You ultimately want them eating adult mice. Much more nutrition. If they don't know what to do with an adult, start with pinkies. I had to chop them up and mix into their meat so they got a taste for them, and just worked up from there.

hmm.. I'm gonna scared/grossed out by using mice but I guess they gotta eat it since its good for them~ are their bones hard to cut? I dont have any knives that go though chicken wing bones or anything hardd.
Also this might be off topic, but they have peed in the corner of my room a lot when I was first training them to use the litter box but now its all stained black What is the easiest way to make the black stain go away?

[Sherry]

For pinkies, it takes nothing to cut them. I did it frozen. You shouldn't need to cut the larger ones up.
As for the stain- what's the flooring made of?

[amberful]

Starting on wednesday im gonna start giving them some pinkies then~

I think the flooring is hardwood?

[Sherry]

Oh I think the only way you'd get it out is to refinish it then, sorry.
