    You mix old foods with new food.
    Start out with a very small portion or raw to old kibble. Like 25% raw to 75% kibble for a few weeks then gradually go to 50-50%. And eventually 75% raw to 25% kibble etc, etc.

    I just wanted to clarify that this is for ferrets. They won't eat kibble and raw at the same time. They'll eat one or the other depending on the ferret if both types of food are presented at the same time. Most imprinted ferrets will always go for the kibble. And all raw fed ferrets will always choose the raw over kibble.




    In dogs, they'll probably eat everything at the same time. So its best to keep raw and kibble in separate meal times since the digestion rate is different for both types of food.
