Dear Ferret Folks-
 
My mother is famous for buying weird food to try out.  One of her finds
was 'fig syrup'.  It is, not surprisingly, a sweet syrup made from figs.
Brown, gummy, sticky, yummy.  It does taste quite a bit like raisins.
 
I tried to find things to do with it.  I found a bit of it turned
gingerbread into something that even I would eat.  (I don't really like
gingerbread.)  A small spoonful stirred into tea was wonderful.  The
ferrets thought it was DIVINE to lick.
 
Here is an URL for some.  http://www.baar.com/figsyrup.htm
It costs $5.95 plus shipping for an 8 OZ. bottle.  It keeps forever,
in or out of the refrigerator.  It is (supposedly) all chock full of
vitamins and minerals according to the web site.
 
Anyway, I bet it could be mixed with a variety of ferret meds, with happy
results for all.
