Sorry Im late! Our menu stayed mostly the same, with 8-9 bone meals of mainly carcasses and necks, I haven't been able to grab the tails yet, I haven't had the funds. 2 heart meals (plus heart treats for training) 1 beef mince meal 1 lamb meat meal with marrow from the bones 1 1/2 meal serves of liver soupies I really need to go shopping for them again but I don't have the funds at the moment so the next few updates might be a bit all over the place cause I might run out of things

Yep! Everyone seems normal, we play for about 30 mins then I leave them to do their thing whilst I play xbox so I can always keep an eye on them but they generally play with themselves for another 30 mins to an hour then sleep.. Poops are ok! Girls are runnier but because they're girls I'm not worried anymore

That's great Everyone's staying steady with eating bone (I take it), so all we really need to do is get that second organ feeding consistent!

So sorry!! I've been super flat packed with my government messing around my benefits and trying to find a job center that will help me go back to school. Also doing mental health plans and organizing psych appointments because I've been diagnosed with depression. They still will not take organ at all apart from hearts, I think it might be the texture of the organs im feeding, I will try kidney again to see if they will eat that. At the moment they're not even taking the spoon fed soup anymore. Are there other organs that have more of a harder/firmer texture? It might be that that they aren't digging. (Lung maybe?)

I can get some lung I know that for sure so I'll try them on some next week (need to go shopping on monday I'm out of hearts!) I'll see of I can get some brain or something else, spleen they weren't too keen on but I have some in the freezer still so I'll try it again! Hopefully things will work out :/ with 6 months left on my diploma I'm kind of devastated that it looks like I can't finish it :/ I've been studying for the last two years. I'm really hoping that I can get a job ASAP as well but so far no luck... And my laptop charger just caught fire I hope everything is well on your end! I will be updating from my phone for now until I can replace my charger so I should be able to update frequently again

Ugh, when things go south, it happens in multiples. I can empathize with school - I was into my 2nd year in grad school, and things happened to where I now can't finish the program. Even if you can't finish - don't forget about connections - I have a professor working hard to help me find a job that fits my experience, so I'm hoping to get something set up soonish *crosses fingers*. That goes a long way, even if at first it feels terrible. Things will get better!
Hopefully you'll get the charger fixed! We'll need to do a menu for the last week or so, and see where we are with proteins!
(as for me - my sister gave birth to a healthy little girl on the 12th then my oldest niece broke her leg on the 15th :C . It's been busy!)

It really does! I think I have the worst luck ever sometimes and Id like it to go away x3 I didn't think about my lecturers actually! I may have to give him a bell, thanks for that! I got to eat livers yesterday! It was chicken though unfortunately but liver is liver! The meal has been the same pretty much all through. I'm out of hearts right now so they've only had one meal, hopefully tomorrow I'm doing their food shop and I can get some ox tails! Pork tails as well if they have them Sometimes I won't have time to feed 2 meals separately, would it be ok to feed two meals together so that they have food throughout the day? Meals are still Chicken carcasses 4 meals Chicken necks 3 meals Chicken feet 1 meal Beef mince x 2 Chicken hearts x 2 Lamb necks Pork necks 1 liver meal!! Still too much chicken

You got them to eat liver? That's great! As for the menu - we'll get it balanced, it just might take a bit more time. I will say this. As it stands - it IS a menu that will get you graduated, even if it's not ideal I know we talked about it before - but is there any way to get another kind of heart - beef, pork, turkey, anything? That would help cut down on the chicken in the diet. Everyone's doing well, regardless? Poos? Weight? Energy? And thanks! Everyone's doing pretty well - oldest niece is homebound (school) for 6 weeks. Re: school - sometimes it's easy to overlook potential resources, but using professors as a launching board is a way to get yourself out there and finding something that is closest to what you really want to do!

Yep! I was so proud I just put it in their bucket and left the house so they had no choice and no one to complain to I've tried them on lamb hearts I think, and I can generally get more should I get those instead? Everyone is ok, poops were organ-y but to be expected... Apart from that everyone's been ok in comparison to the weather! It's been hot again here so we're all a little lethargic Glad your neice is ok! If things don't go well with my job network on Friday I'll be calling a tutor to see if he can help with the job status!

Weight seems to have plateaued atm, no one is really gaining or losing too much. Gomez still fluctuates but he's special

Plateauing is great (as long as no one's underweight) - they're probably getting used to the diet and closing the nutrient gap ;D Lamb hearts are awesome - it's one way to lower the amount of chicken in the diet. If others become available and you can afford it, don't hesitate to snap 'em up!
Glad to hear everyone's doing well! And good luck - I'll be sending positive thoughts your way, definitely!
