Regarding switching foods and your ferret's reluctance to eat it:
 
You should mix in any new food with the old diet gradually over 5-10 days
with any domestic pet.  Otherwise they can get stomach upsets, usually
diarrea (sp?).  A ferret is very reluctant to try anything new.  They assume
everything is yucky poison until proved otherwise, unlike a dog who eats
everything and then finds it is poison.  You should mix in very gradually
and maybe try to add a supplement such as ferretone or linatone.  The flavor
improvement may be the trick to get them to try the new food.  and ferretone
usually does not upset digestion.
 
Also, did Cherrisa say she wanted to give her ferret Eukanuba?  If I
understand correctly, this is a dog food.  And I thought you should never
give dog anything (food or otherwise) to a ferret.  Right?
