Terrifying moment with gracie :(

She was eating her food and she ran off with it under the table as she does and suddenly i herd all this wheezing. Ran over and she was chocking on a bit of meat. I couldnt get my fingers down to get it out and didnt want to risk pushing it in any further. So i held her in one hand and with the other i scruffed her and kind of shook her head side to side and said piece of meat came flying out. Sooo scary and i used to shout the ex to sort stuff out like that but i came through for gracie. Going to make sure all her food is cut in to very small pieces from now on

They do like to scare you!!

dont cut all her meat up so small she doesn't have to chew though, if you leave it big and just feed her in her cage so she cant stash it anywhere she should be fine.

Have you tried her on DOCs yet? most ferrets love them and you can just pop em in whole

Haha, we got a new freezer for the dogs sttuff and louie's, and hopefully I'm eventually going to have the cats eating raw as well (although they hate it at the moment )

Do you give your chicks whole? Lou loves the feet and beaks lol, and he loves lapping up the yolk from them as well lol

just remember not to feed them too often as they dont have much nutrional value

Yep she has them whole, she has them as treats, when she is good (which is never)
