To anon, whose ferret won't eat anything but the chicken baby food... Yes, it's addictive. We have all six eating it, although 5/6 still eat their regular food. For the sixth, we mix the ferret chow in with it and he'll get some that way. One problem with a diet of baby food is that the teeth build up a lot of tartar and can develop ginigivitis. then the ferret eats only bably food because it hurts to eat the hard stuff. Have your vet take a look at your ferret's teeth during your next visit. Make sure that you have dry food available at all times. Then gradually space the baby food feedings farther and farther apart. But don't try cutting it off altogether - ferrets don't respond well to starvation tactics.....
