When I try my baby girls on new things, such as when I tried them on raisins for a treat, they snub it... will smell it but won't eat it... So we open their mouth, put it in, then close their mouth and make them chomp down on it... We do this very gently, just so they get the taste of it in their mouth and this works for everything... They love raisins because of this and they love the treats we buy them because of making them taste it... You'll never know if they just smell it and walk away... I hope this helps... This is in reply to getting a ferret to eat meat... Although I've never fed my ferret anything other than ferret food, treats, and some other goodies... (I Didn't know I was supposed to.. Any input on other foods ferrets should eat would be more than helpful for me) Tina and the baby girls, Fanny & Sissy [Posted in FML issue 3799]
