Hi again.
 
I am not sure why but basically only 2 people have responded to my plea for
advice in preparation for a new litter.  As it was, I was only able to
converse with one person.  The other one, called me from California (I
think) and I am in Ontario Canada.  Unfortunately I am not able to thank you
by name or by E-mail because I don't have either one.  All I have is two
phone numbers: 510-481-1439 and 510-869-9755 (pager).  I have tried to get
back to you but without success.  Thank you for trying to contact me.  I
sure appreciate your efforts.  Thanks also to Vanessa.  I also appreciated
your help.
 
I am still interested in hearing from others, especially about what you did
when a mother couldn't nurse and there is no surrogate mother.  What did you
feed them and how much and how often?  I just don't want to repeat the
tragedy of last summer.  I want to be prepared.
 
One other question concerns skinny ferrets.  We actually have two that are
overweight and they are on a special weight control diet.  According to the
FML posts, for underweight ferrets you can feed them Nutri-cal, Susti-cal,
Deliver, Ensure, and Duck Soup.  Except for Duck Soup (I have the recipe for
that) and Ensure (I got that at a drug store), where do you get the other
stuff?  Do I have the correct items?  Is there anything else that you can
use?  How much and how often do you feed each of them for I would imagine
that each one would have different amounts.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.  If you call, I am at the # below,
Mon.-Fri. from 8:30-4:30.
