Hi again, I'm changing my ferrets' food, and I thought you all might enjoy this... I tried the old "mix the old food with the new" trick. My pets ate all the old pellets, and left the new ones untouched. I tried soaking the new food in ferrettone, and then mixing it with the old food. My fuzzheads licked the ferretone off the new pellets, and ate the old stuff. Amazing that a head that small can hold so much stubborness. Anyway, I finally PULVERIZED the old food, mixed it with ferretone to make a "sauce" and poured it on the new food. THAT finally worked - although they still aren't very happy with the change.
