To Aylasaur:
 
I also have a ferret - Cecil - who HATES Linatone and Ferretone.  He makes a
face, squirms all over, and gets gaggy on me.  So when I want to clip his
nails, I use Nutrical on his tummy instead.  This works fine and he loves
Nutrical.
 
If they don't like it, they don't like it, and I don't try to force.  Of 15
ferrets, he's the only one who won't take Linatone/Ferretone, and I guess
it's just a matter of taste.  So while it's unusual, it's not unheard of for
a ferret not to like this stuff, and there are alternatives.
 
Mandy never liked fruit either - she lived 8 years without ever having
raisins, mellon, or whatever, because she just didn't want it.  Heaven is
like that also - not a fruit or raisin eater.  I don't push fruit at all
anymore, but I do give an occasional raisin treat, but she has no interest.
 
Just like us, they're all individuals with their own preferences.
