Wow. Lots to take in at once! haha. So a soup is recommended to start off the older two? I think the younger one will take to it just fine. Any advice on what to do if they are absolutely against any of this? They have a tendency to be picky on occasion.

I mean if we try all these methods and they just absolutely will not do it for any reason. Not sure if I had mentioned it before, but we've tried giving them real meat a few times with no success. They will avoid it like the plague, even if it's in their bowl of kibble.

Your wee one will take just about anything once you get him started. Babies are just furry stomachs with teeth. Your older fuzzes should switch without issue if you're persistent. Once you decide to do this you have to do this if you want it to work. It's not something you start on your day off and then wait for the next day you have off. This is every day, persistence (being plain stubborn) is how you win this game. I've switched over 30 ferrets, the oldest being 9 yrs of age. Some are certainly not easy but it's being consistent that wins this one ciao

Heather is right. It's just sheer persistence that's the key. It took me six weeks several times a day to convince my Boris that raw puree wasn't actually poisonous ;D

I'm a tattoo artist. Needless to say, I have the luxury of having the time to be persistent with my kiddos. We definitely want to do this for them because we know it's a far better lifestyle and we want that for them. I will have to try the scruff and stuff. I have a feeling Koda will be rather shocked by it, as I've done nothing but spoil and coddle him the entire time he's been with me. He's my big baby. Thank you all so much for the advice!
