I recently asked about adding soy oil or such to the chicken gravy for added fat and was told, essentially, that ferrets couldn't use it because it is a vegetable fat. I find it interesting that Pretty Bird food has soy oil added, listed after the chicken meal. Do they or do they not utilize it? I want to thank those who responded about using a Vita-Mix for the gravy. Checking out E-Bay I see there are several models available. Probably any of them would be good for the chicken puree but I'm leaning toward a new one so I can use it for our own foods too. I actually have a very old one that I used for garbage for the compost pile but the container is somehow still in storage elsewhere. Carol O. [Posted in FML issue 4304]
