Haha, Well, The little morgue came in today. Gah, It's horrible, Hah, I can deal with the birds for now, because they just look creepy and frozen. But the little Rat Pups are like precious little figurines. Dx And, Those Rats are HUGE, honey. I mean seriously.. That's like a 4-day meal. xDD
I'm thawing out 2 chicks, 2 quail, 4 rat pups, and 2 mice. So, They'll be ready tomorrow, and I'll start his day off with a chick. x3

Awwh, Yay, I'm so proud of her. Was prolly easy though since she was a little baby starting out, All her instincts weren't tampered with Lolz. x3 Awwhr, They're all doing good 'cept Lizzie. We're just going to have to take a couple steps back, She's not wanting to eat mice. >< But, We'll get there. :3
Alright.. I May need help with that though. We have Rats, Rat Pups, Quail, Chicks, and Mice, I usually just give him one thing a day, maybe two on the mice is they're small, but definitely two on the Rat Pups. I'm not sure how to go about planning a meal with it though.. :\

Yeah, I know But I will need help putting that menu together. What is the basics of your menu? Maybe I can arrange it something like that. But, I'm really not sure how to go about this. What we have is Rats, Rat Pups, Quail, Chicks, and Mice, I usually give him two of the Chicks, Mice and Rat Pups. And one of the Quail or Rats.
I just need some help getting an actual MENU. Please, and Thankyou. :3

here is a copy of what my cat and ferrets eat: MONDAY: cornish game hen for breakfast 2 mice for lunch and some duck at dinner time
TUESDAY:Chicken giblets. at lunch. One liver in the morning for breakfast along with a chicken leg or thigh an egg and some beef for dinner My boys love whole raw eggs they even have been eating the shell
WEDNESDAY:Woohoo turkey day! a whole turkey wing for breakfast along with a juvenile mouse venison and dinner time is pork
THURSDAY: more giblets veal and a chicken neck for lunch chicken breast with the skin and bone for dinner
FRIDAY:Friday is usually a special day. we go to the butcher at meijers and kroger find whats on sale see what sounds the best to them and they get it, fridays are also paydays so i have a little extra so i stock up if anything regular we eat is on sale. I also get a good deal on pork and beef and venison because my SO raises hogs and cattle and hunts so a lot of our beef and pork (cept the spensive cuts) are free. this is the weirdo day when we try odd assortments of cuts and meat (whatever they havent tried before)
SATURDAY:WHOLE PREY DAY. Mice and baby chickens and bugs and maybe a rat if they have some frozen at the petstore. On these days i just let them have a free for all in the tub and then let them take their kills back to his cage for mowing down. Bastien is almost a better predator than beast and this was his first whole prey day yesterday =x
SUNDAY: Sunday is the lazy day. =) on saturdays i let them kill enough for two days (or if they are little porkers like they were yesterday they get scraps left over from other feeding times as i only leave food in the cage for a 2 hour maximum) theres also a little fish treat thrown in
this is also what lainey eats so i usually bag everyones together and they all eat out of the same bowl.

That's fine. Well, With Stewart I was just going to do Whole Prey, Not chicken parts or anything. So, I usually give him a two chicks or two mice (sometimes three), Some days he gets quail and soon I'm going to give him a Big Rat, and he also has Rat Pups. So, I don't know how to have an actual meal plan, Is it okay to just throw in whatever day to day? Or does it matter nutritionally?
