I originally made my first cage and it was a great, but as my business grew they needed more space and I needed something easier to clean so about a month ago or so, I got my FN142 and I love it! It's so much easier to clean and the fuzz love it too! I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo that likes tracking their packages poor mailman when I know something comming I stalk him! Haha I do the same thing. I order all of the stuff for my car online and am out in the garage waiting when it gets here lol. I gotta go to the store and get some chicken wings, organ meats and such I guess, it's getting close.

I thought I replied to this. I still haven't recovered from this semester I guess. Switching a kit is easy peasy. Both of mine came home as kits, and both of them ate raw from the second they came through the door. Koda was easy. I put a chicken wing in front of him and he was immediately super possessive of it - hissing when I got too close - and chowed it right down. He has never touched a bite of kibble since. I think you will find that, once they have discovered raw, many if not all ferrets will choose it over kibble, My roommate snuck kibble into his cage (to her credit she thought she was "helping" even though I told her I knew what I was doing lol) and Koda (*proud moment*) didn't so much as sniff it. Kenai was a little more difficult. He wouldn't take to chunks right away, but was on them in about 2-3 days. I think he was a bit younger than Koda was when I brought him home. They were both roughly 8 weeks old though. Anyways, with Kenai I started with a soup of chicken baby food, squash (either canned pumpkin or squash baby food I can't remember), and boiled chicken. I gave him a few bites of that and convinced him it was food. I then (this is all within a few minutes lol) added in a bunch of raw chicken and bleded it into the soupies. I then hand fed him that until, after a few licks, he would lick it up on his own. I then put this soup on a small chunk of raw chicken and fed it to him. He licked off the soup and I put the meat in his mouth and he kept spitting it out. I tried until he swallowed a bit of it, and I did it again with a few more pieces. Then I put him in the cage with the raw-chicken soupies with a few small chunks in it. In the morning the chunks were gone! Then I used the soup for gravy on the chunks for the next day or two, mixed in some ground and bigger chunks, etc. Within a few days he was eating chunks.
