Pat, we have only had to do subcutaneous injections on one of our ferrets
(fortunately, the most docile one!).  It is not that difficult, especially
if the ferret's attention is on the Nutracal that he's chowing down rather
than the needle in his skin.  Depends on how confident you feel about
needles and such.
 
Lots of luck,
