I've had good luck with a mix of chicken baby food, heavy whipping cream
and Ferretone. I mix 1 tbsp of heavy whipping cream with 1/2 a crushed
Lactaid tablet, add 1 tbsp Gerbers #2 Chicken and a tsp of Ferretone. It
helps to warm it just a little in the microwave. You may have to squirt
it into your ferret's mouth with a syringe the first time or two until it
gets used to the taste.
