That's great! Is Helo eating organs on his own, now? I know the younger guys, you said, like them, but I don't recall you mentioning Helo in there

I'm sorry about that, I had a medical emergency.
Helo is happy to eat blended organs, but not whole, the little ones couldn't care less, lol. They're all doing amazingly well with the bone also, though it seems to me like Helo is eating as much as the other two put together. Is that just because h switched more recently, or could something else be causing that?

It could be the switch + the change in weather. Everyone tends to gorge as the shed comes on and the weather turns cooler.
How are we doing on variety?

Sorry, I've been having some ongoing medical issues that are complicating my computer time They've been great about eating all parts of the chicken, but I haven't tried them on different animals yet. They'll eat livers whole, but I still have to blend up hearts. Should I grab some fish to try them on next?

You can. Depending on the fish, though, the smell/taste may be strong, and fish isn't usually a first-time hit (especially if they haven't tried much else beforehand). Turkey and pork are great meats for the newly switched. Maybe try those before moving to to the stronger tasting protein (fish, beef, mutton, etc).
Also have they had kidney, yet?

Yeah, they all love blended kidney and none of them will eat it whole I'll go turkey next; should I just feed a whole meal of turkey the way I would've fed chicken normally?

Yep If they seem resistant, you can entice them with some oil dribbled on it

Since I can't drive due to medical stuff, today is the first day I'm going to be able to pick up some turkey to try them on I'm going to go ahead and stock up today so I don't have to worry about that being an ongoing problem, so I was wondering what the next couple of meats are after the turkey? I'm just going to grab some of all of it and space the introductions, lol.

I'd grab pork, beef, fish, and whatever else (I know my wally world carries lamb, sometimes, and other goodies), and have you tried egg and goat's milk? My guys love goat's milk, and you can pour it in ice cube trays, freeze and baggie for convenient portions! Once again, it's more of a treat, but it's still great variety). And I can't remember about the egg (apologies if you have - I'm terribly sick, atm and my brain's all fuzz). Basically, whatever you want to try, there's really no "bad" protein - there's only ones that tend to be given in moderation (beef, fish, for example)
