Great! Keep pushing them forwards with the chunks, increasing the size more, and decreasing the soup more. Now would be a good time to try to introduce new meats as well. You can try: pork, beef, turkey, game hen...almost anything you can get your hands on. Chop the new meat into smaller pieces and mix a few of them into the current chunk+soupie mix.

Try a little bit of pork next. Also, if they are eating the chunks ok then try eliminating the soup. You can still use it to coat new meats too though if they need a little flavor incentive. We need to get them eating hearts, organs, bones, and more variety now. Try to add in 2-3 new meats a week. Anything you would like. This week let's try pork or turkey meat if you can get some, and chicken hearts. Chop them into small chunks and mix them into the food they are currently eating. As with the past steps, they might put up a fuss at first but keep pushing them forwards.

Oh good. Cut the pork into smaller pieces and mix it into some soup. As for organs, start with liver. You might have to make soup, and slowly work the liver (and heart) in. For tomorrow, make some chicken soup (the kind they are used to eating, and blend just a little bit of liver and heart into it. If they are hesitant you can add a little oil, pumpkin, or ferretone to flavor it up some. Start small and increase it gradually. Let me know what amounts you try and how it goes.

Keep feeding it to them. Scruff N Stuff Casper and see how he likes it once he tastes it. Also, can you get access to any powdered eggshell or bonemeal powder? If you can let me know and let me know which one you can get. Then depending on how they do with bones (See below) over the next few days I may have you get some and mix a little into their meals regularly until they will eat bones. Keep offering them the organ/heart soup a few times a week. You can add a little oil or ferretone to make it tastier as well. In the meanwhile, you are going to need: chicken wings, hammer, strong scissors or poultry shears, and/or a sharp knife. When you get those, use the hammer to crush the wings until they are totally pulverized and the bone pieces are very small. Then use the scissors and knife to cut the meaty, bony pulp into chunks the size of the meat chunks they are currently eating. You can mix in a little oil or ferretone if you would like, and offer them that. Alternate meals of bony meat and organ soupies at least ever 3 days. So say Mon: bones, Tues: organ soup, Wed: chunks, Thurs: bones, Fri: organ soup, Sat: chunks etc etc. This way we can work on getting them to eat organs, hearts, and bones all at once. Daily updates is really important right now. I know we are on different time zones so that makes it trickier, but please try to update a bare minimum of every other day. Preferably daily.
