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. Alexandra in Massachusetts [Posted in FML issue 4130]
