Dear Ferret Folks- Over the years I have read a lot about chicken gravy mixes, and what a pain it is to render the chickens, how injurious the process is to blenders. I have an "I admit I am completely ignorant" question. Is fish gravy a doable thing? It would certainly be high quality protein, and a lot easier to pass a few fish through a blender than a chicken carcass. On the downside, it would smell like fish gravy, and I think be more expensive than chicken based gravy unless you could find a clever fish source. Availability is not something I have ever researched, but I think cheap fish like mackerel would work just as well as expensive fish, like cod. I think it might be unacceptably low fat unless you threw in a can or two of cheap sardines in oil, but that is easy to do. Are Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil just as good for ferrets as they are for hoomins? I don't know how many of you have ever tried feeding fish to your ferrets, but in my experience most ferrets really enjoy an oily sardine fillet, or a few scraps of baked fish.
