Hi everyone, This is my first post to the FML. This is a copy of a post that I made to alt.pets.ferrets, so some of you might have seen it before. I was hoping someone would be able to help me out. My wife and I have two female sable ferrets, 3 and 3 1/2 years old. We recently rescued a 3 - 6 month old sable female from the local SPCA who I've nicknamed Sprite. Sprite looked pretty healthy except for being quite skinny and a little dehydrated. After the first day she was home I noticed that she wasn't eating and hardly. We tried Science Diet and Nutri-Cal. I even went out and got some wet cat food, several flavors of baby food and some soy milk. She wouldn't have any of these. I did manage to get her to eat a couple of raisins. The next morning it was off to the vet. There she stayed for a day of observation. The vet said that she was fine and had been eating a little of the Iam's kitten food. So we picked some up for her and she still hardly touches the stuff. At least now she is drinking more, but I am still worried about her not eating. If I give her a few raisins, she will gobble them down but I can't get her to eat her food. Does anybody have any ideas of what I could try feeding her? Has anyone else had a similar problem to this? Is she just a picky eater and I haven't been able to find the food that she is used too? I really would like to fatten this little girl up a bit. Thanks for any advice that you can give me.
