Excellent recommendation.  Having heard this on the FML right after I
joined, I found that my little girl would eat kibble softened and mashed
with orange pedialyte.  When she got sick 8 months later, I was *so* glad
that I at least knew one soft food she liked.  I would also suggest that
you make it for your ferrets every couple of months so that they stay used
to it, and it becomes almost a treat for them.
 
As for recipes, I have put a collected list on the web at:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/5410/DuckSoup.html and would
love to add more recipes if anyone has any to suggest.
 
For those of you with sick fuzzies, my heart goes out to you, and my
wishes for quick recoveries for your little ones.
