Hi everyone,
This is my first post to the FML. This is a copy of a post that I made to
alt.pets.ferrets, so some of you might have seen it before.
I was hoping someone would be able to help me out. My wife and I have two
female sable ferrets, 3 and 3 1/2 years old. We recently rescued a 3 - 6
month old sable female from the local SPCA who I've nicknamed Sprite.
Sprite looked pretty healthy except for being quite skinny and a little
dehydrated. After the first day she was home I noticed that she wasn't
eating and hardly. We tried Science Diet and Nutri-Cal. I even went out
and got some wet cat food, several flavors of baby food and some soy milk.
She wouldn't have any of these. I did manage to get her to eat a couple of
raisins.
The next morning it was off to the vet. There she stayed for a day of
observation. The vet said that she was fine and had been eating a little of
the Iam's kitten food. So we picked some up for her and she still hardly
touches the stuff. At least now she is drinking more, but I am still
worried about her not eating. If I give her a few raisins, she will gobble
them down but I can't get her to eat her food.
Does anybody have any ideas of what I could try feeding her? Has anyone
else had a similar problem to this? Is she just a picky eater and I haven't
been able to find the food that she is used too? I really would like to
fatten this little girl up a bit.
Thanks for any advice that you can give me.
Shane & Monica,
Dritz, Zoe & Sprite.
