Cassi has drastically reduced the amount she is eating. She still has an appetite, but she is eating less. I'm sure it's just due to the season change. she's not losing any weight yet.

Every year I freak out at the change in their appetite. The little buggers love to throw us for a loop at every turn.
She seems good though? How much do you figure she's eating each day?

She's eating at different times now. So i'm putting her food out at the same time, but then i just leave it in the cage and she'll eat it while i'm out.
She's still eating close to 2 oz a day. It's like you mentioned earlier, she almost seems to take a day off or a meal off and then eats like normal the next day.

Sorry i've been MIA for a while. Things are getting really hectic. I'm a teacher, looking for a new job, end of the year is always nuts even when you aren't fired, plust planning for the wedding in August... Cassi is doing great on her soupy, but i'm ashamed to admit i've been pretty lazy about trying chunks or bone. She just loves the soupy so much and i just don't have the time to sit and coax her into trying new things right now...

I understand. I have been super busy lately too. I expect it to let up by 75% after this weekend.
Since she's been eating soup for so long now you may want to think about wiping her teeth. You could use a microfiber cloth with a very fine nap and just dampen it with water and give her teeth a swipe with it. Unless you think she'd tolerate a kitten toothbrush, but even those are large for a ferret mouth. It's not ideal of course, but we want to at least attempt to prevent tarter and plaque build-up.
Good luck with the craziness!
