Due to Boris's problem with chicken, I've been tweaking their diet. Rabbit with bone in- bone, muscle, or both? I'm getting them onto larger pieces of meat, so they are going to be getting one thing in a day, ie: Monday is pork chunk day, Tuesday is turkey/duck neck day, etc. So for the rabbit, since I buy it the carcass, unfortunately minus head and fur, what would I class it as?
I class it as rmb...raw meat and bones. If they eat all the bones...fantastic. Remember it balance over time...they only way you can screw that up is to feed the same thing for months at a time 
. Are you feeding the rabbit in the all together or are you cutting it up? Are you actually going to be selecting chunks of meat without bone included? I personally would quarter it (as there's no head and fur included) and just feed it that way...but I don't know exactly where you're at in your switching. You would understand that better than I as to what your ferret's capacity is 
. My guys would eat the rabbit cut into quarters (in fact that's how I feed rabbit, unless it's be preground with bone and offal included).
And due to Lucrezia's penchant for stashing constantly, instead of eating, they are going to be eating in their cage from now on!
What can you do....it's all about living with ferrets.
