Go fang and badger! Two down, 5 to go lol. Keep up the great work and keep making the soup for the others. What are you putting in their soup currently, and are they all eating it?

Be sure to only give 1 liver, per ferret, per week. Too much liver can lead to Vitamin A toxicity. Liver can be a good bribe though. If you use it sparingly you can drizzle it on other meats to entice them to try it  Just remember 1 per ferret per week. I am happy to hear that your crew is starting to pick this up! Are they eating any kibble or are they only eating the ground soupy right now? |

There should be a "Sell by" date on the tub. Use that as a guide I wouldnt leave ANY meat in the fridge longer then 5 days or so (by the way ) As for the chicken wing, get them eating pretty decent sized chunks of meat, THEN offer them a chicken wing that has been broken into three segments (at the joints: the tip, the middle, and the end). If they wont eat big chunks of meat, then they wont have a clue what to do with a wing lol. Keep doing what you are doing, it seems like you are making good progress  So they are now eating fuzzies? Good! Pretty soon you'll be able to offer hopper/weaned mice, then next thing you know you'll be giving adult mice! Keep going! Things look like they are going great |
