Marie and Loki-- In your search for foods that your ferret will eat, have you tried the concoction known as "Duck Soup" created by another ferret owner in a situation similar to yours (ferret in danger of starving if it didn't eat)? It's been posted on many of the national services, and I think maybe even this list sometime in the past. It consists of a number of ingredients designed to tempt the ferret to taste while getting the maximum amount of calories and protein to the critter as well. I'm trying to send a copy of the recipe and contact info for its creators directly to your E-mail box. Please let me know if you receive it or not. Debra P.S.-- Another thing I've heard of feeding to sick ferrets with poor appetites is meat babyfood. [Posted in FML issue 0662]
