Okay. Please do not take this the wrong way but I am having a really difficult time here. I don't want to sound mean, but if you don't give me updates, and details, I can't be of much help. We should be a lot farther along by now, but I can't give any input on how to get past ferrety stubbornness, if you never give me regular updates - and regular updates with details.
I want you to please try to give me a Detailed update Daily. We need to get your fuzz eating chunks, organs, and bones so they can be on a balanced diet. An unbalanced diet can be dangerous for your ferrets' health. They are okay on just raw soup for a while, but over an extended period this can result in nutrient deficiencies among other issues, so you want to get them on a balanced diet sooner rather than later. This is going to require pushing them a little more, and it's going to require more communication. You're past the first big step, but that's just the beginning. Now they need to learn how to eat chunks, bones, and organs. If we're going to get them there, it would really help to have a more open and ongoing line of communication. Is this something that you can commit to?

That will make things easier and hopefully help things move faster. How thick is the soup that they are eating right now? For their next meal try to thicken it up a bit, and cut up some chicken meat into tiiiny little pieces and mix them into the meat. You might have to scruff and stuff a few times if they are stubborn. Let me know how that goes.

Pudding thick is a good consistency. Try the little chunks mixed in and see what they think. If they don't like them, spit them out, eat around them, whatever then try to scruff and stuff a few times to get them to taste it. Remember to make the chunks as tiny as you can to start, an then you'll gradually increase the size each day. Sneak it up on them.

Yay Momo and Casper! Keep putting the chunks in, and add just a little bit more of them this time. How did Ringo take to it once you scruffed him?

Awesome. Anything that helps. I know I always have to set reminders on my phone to remember things. Keep working on Ringo. Will they all eat the chunks okay out of the dish? If so, go ahead and increase the size just a little bit more.
