Looks great.
In an ideal world if you can find more organs that would be great. Kidney, Pancreas, Tripe, etc are organs that might not be available in your local grocery store. You can try asian/spanish markets (if you have any near you). Ordering organs online (like I do) is another option. I buy my "exotic" organs for Hare Today, Gone Tommorow:
www.hare-today.com/I buy a big bulk order of organs from hare today:
Beef kidney
Green Tripe
Ground Beef Pancreas
Beef Lung
Chicken Hearts
Chicken Necks
and then I buy some chicken liver and gizzards from my local grocer. Then I package out all the organs into little baggies. In each baggy I'll put 1 chicken liver, 1 chicken heart. A thumb sized piece of beef kidney and lung, a tablespoon of ground pancreas, 1 chicken neck, a tablespoon or ground green tripe, etc. Then I freeze the baggies in my freezer. Now I have individual portions that I can thaw and serve. One per ferret, 1 time per week. Organs are rich in nutrients and the more variety you can include in your weekly organ meal, the better. Ordering bulk organs online can seem like a pain (shipping does seem expensive) but if the cost of the organs themselves is REALLY cheap, and if you buy a big enough order of organs you'll only have to reorder 2-4 times per year----depending on how much organs you buy per order.
If you aren't comfortable ordering online, do as I recommended and see if you can track down some exotic organs in your own neighborhood. At the least, throw in some chicken hearts and gizzards, these can be found at almost any grocery store.
I like that you have several kinds of meat (beef, pork, chicken, rabbit) and I like that you are feeding chicken wings, legs, AND thighs. You can also throw in chicken backs every now and then (these are boney so feed with boneless muscle meat), In fact what I do is just buy a whole chicken cut up and feed all the parts. I find its cheaper per pound (atleast where I live) to buy chicken this way vs. a pack of chicken wings, a pack of chicken legs, etc.
You can also try fish every now and then as well. The more variety the better.
Sometimes I'll buy whiting, trout, or catfish for my ferts. Not more then 1x per week though as fish doesn't constitute a major part of a polecat's natural diet. Eggs can be fed 1x per week as well.
I also like to take advantage of freeze-dried meat treats. I feed duck, lamb, and bison jerkey and freezedried treats. These are all meats I can't find in the store but I can still squeeze them into my ferrets diet because I feed them in treat form.
All in all, just remember to give as much variety as possible.
Now, onto the good stuff.................
Time to Graduate!!!
Now there is one last thing I want you to do (and then I am moving this thread to the "newbie switch archive":
If you haven't already, it might be a good idea to start popping in to NaturalFerrets. I know forum is small right now, but that is because they are switching to the new forum from a yahoo! group. There are many many senior raw feeders on there and it would be wise to make use of their knowledge. I try and advise all my "completed switchers" to get on there and post a bit. I still want you to say on HF, but I want you to "broaden your horizons" by getting a bit of NaturalFerret's info as well. Sound good?
www.NaturalFerrets.comYou'll probably run in to the Holistic Ferret Mentors on there. This is where THEY go to ask THEIR questions on natural diet (I do too).
Let me know if you get any good info out of here.
and.......
Now that you've completed the switch, have had your feeding schedule reviewed, and been advised to check out NaturalFerrets, its time to retire this thread to the "newbie switch archive"!
No one (yourself included) will be able to post in this thread anymore once its been moved to the archive. Please begin posting your diet-related questions in the "whole prey" "raw" or "general feeding questions and discussion" area. We encourage EVERYONE that is archived to continue posting. Feeding a natural diet is a learning PROCESS, there is much to learn after making the switch.
We (your mentor and I) will run a detailed "check up" with you (via PM or email) at the 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 1 year anniversary since "going natural" just to make sure all is going well and that you aren't having any issues.
Feel free to jump in and help to answer newbie questions. One of the ways you can learn is through teaching. We hope you stick around so that we can celebrate the 1 year anniversary of starting your babies on raw with you!
! Now, your fuzzes are into a much healthier lifestyle, which will benefit both you and them!
