Someone posted recently about taking in an orphaned kit. I start my babies on "baby mush" between 3 and 4 weeks of age. I mix canned Science Diet kitten food with Ensure or Sustical. I put about a teaspoon of canned food in a saucer and add enough Ensure to make it very runny. I heat it for about 10 -15 seconds in the microwave. The babies love it. They get more on them than in them at first. As the babies get older I make it a little thicker. You can also add some Kitten Milk Replacer to the mush. My condolences to all who have lost ferrets recently. My heart goes out to you all. Cindy [Posted in FML issue 1262]
