Casper ate a little bit of the food. I think hes starting to get the hang of this hopefully. Momo, and Ringo are still where they were before Except for theirs i added a little bit more thickness to it.

Casper ate a little soupie-covered food? Did you blend kibble into the soup to make it taste better for him? Did you follow my last post or are you still giving him strictly raw soup?
For Momo and Ringo, will they eat the soup alone? If they are still eating it over the kibble, start decreasing the amount of kibble and increasing the amount of soup until they are only eating the soup.

Perfect!  Then for Momo and Ringo, start making the soup thicker until it is essentially pureed meat. Once you get there, or if you are already there, start mixing in teeny chunks of meat - think rice grain sized. You might even try offering them some ground meat and seeing what they think of it. Out of curiosity, have you tried offering Casper a small piece of meat? Hand fed. Some ferrets will taketo chunks before soup even - it never hurts to see how he takes it. In the meanwhile, keep feeding him the soup covered kibble and gradually increasing the soup like you did with the other 2. Also as you increase the amount of soup, start to slowly decrease the amount of kibble blended into it. Keep me posted! |

Go Casper. How many times a day are you offering him soup? Now that he will lick it off of your finger, start lowering your finger towards the bowl and see if you can (will take a few sessions of trying) eventually remove your finger and get him to take it directly from the bowl. For the other two, start gradually decreasing the amount of kibble in their bowl, and increasing the amount of soup in the bowl. |

Yay good furs!  Now we move to the next step.  lol Are they eating. Kibble covered in soup, or the soup on it's own? If they are eating soup-covered-kibble see what they think of plain ol soup on it's own. Also are you still blending some kibble into the soup? If so start to slowly descrease the amount of kibble (and other ingredients - keep pumpkin though if you are using that) until they are eating essentially blended meat and water. |
