I've had to really baby some sick or finicky ferrets. Try making a soup mixture and holding the ferret in one hand, while holding the bowl in front of the ferret in the other hand, moving the bowl in front of the ferret whenever it moves. I had one older ferret before that would only eat soup from a rubbery baby spoon. I've got one ferret that will eat very well if she gets to sit in my lap with the bowl also sitting on the lap, otherwise she's very finicky about eating. Another ferret will only eat soup made from Wysong kibble, heated to lukewarm and with a little Ferretone added. If it's too warm or too cool or there is too little or too much Ferretone, she won't touch it. You can also try adding heavy whipping cream to the mixture. Many ferrets are attracted to the sweetness of it. Debbie [Posted in FML 6779]
