Our shelter mom does the same thing! Except she uses a pressure cooker to cook the chicken to death and grinds the bones into the mix as well. I buy containers of it from her for my jills, kits and any sick kids I might have. It's amazing and I don't know of any ferrets that don't like it. :O) Thanks for sharing your recipe!
