All ferrets are different as to what they like to eat just as people are.
My little Dinky girl loves raw cabbage, which I discovered one night when a
piece fell on the floor while I was making Chinese stir fry.  If I go to
KFC's and get cole slaw, she is in ferret heaven with a little bit of that.
She also likes those little baby carrots to gnaw on.  She will not eat meat,
cooked or raw.  My ferret is a vegetarian!  She does eat her regular food
and so far has not been picky about that no matter what brand I get.  Next
I'm going to try some fruit.  I hear ferrets go gaga over raisins and
bananas.  Oh, and she also loves peanutbutter and petromalt.  She will lick
those off until my finger starts getting wrinkly.
 
So, just keep trying.  You'll find something Meeko can't live without.  If
you have any cereal in the house, try giving her a peice of that as a treat.
 
Good Luck,
Toni
