Well, I've been barely adding any ground up cxn meat into the wet food and Piper is eating it, so I guess it's a step in the right direction.
Finn is eating out of Piper's dish (it's easier than feeding two ferrets different things at this point) and I'm giving him pieces of semi-cooked as treats...I figured, I can try and cook it less and less and see if he'll still eat it. I am freeze drying some raw to see if he'll eat that too, but it's not done yet.

Thats good, its ok that it may take a little bit of coaxing....as long as she is getting the taste of it down thats great, and we pretty much already know that Finn wont be too hard to switch so its ok if he eats hers (I know its much easier with one food bowl ) Your on the right track, I would say start adding just a touch more raw each week and see how she responds (I mean just a little more, like barely noticable).....let me know how this goes

I GREATLY appologize for the lack of updates. I had some big health related issues and with recent flooding issues, it's kept me ridiculously busy and tired. Piper is still hesitant about the raw mix. She will eat the watered down food with some raw, but we have been really thinking about just keeping her solely on a better, healthier kibble instead of changing her to raw. She just seems to not tolerate much of this and she has lost some weight because of the change.

Thats fine dont even worry about it, I just hope you are ok!
I know it can be a little frusterating, especially with very hard to switch ferrets....you are entitled to do what ever you want with them, although if you want some experienced help in that category, there are some mentors that kind of "specialize" in the field of "hard to switch ferrets"....its totally up to you but in case you do want to keep trying I can get someone to post and see if they can help as well
