Hi All, I would like to make something very clear. I have not substituted ensure for nutrical in my home made food recipe. I added it to the basic recipe that others came up with. Even when I make my duck soup with baby food and ensure, I add nutrical or ferretvite, along with ferretone to the mix. I simply decided to add the ensure because it is a way to switch my ferret's taste buds over to another recipe. Sorry if I confused anyone on this and also sorry for trying to give credit to folks who came up with this. Won't happen again. Maggie [Posted in FML issue 3157]
