I have had a ferret on duck soup since last June! He is doing well, but has some kind of chronic intestinal illness no one has been able to cure. Therefore, I have worked out a recipe for duck soup that is very nutrient dense but a) does not easily separate b) can be fed from a syringe if necessary c) easily stored. 1 large (I think 14 oz) can Iams KITTEN food (purple label) 1 can Boost or Sustacal, vanilla 1 can of water (supplement can) blend together into a blender then pour into either ice cube trays or muffin tins lined with the ALUMINUM liners (the paper ones can soak through). When frozen, put the muffin cups or ice cubes into plastic baggies so they can get heated individually. The recipe makes ~12 muffin tins 2/3 full of duck soup. Twice a day I take a small custard cup, pop the duck soup out of the tin into it, and barely cover it with water and microwave it to body temperature. The first time you offer this to your ferret you might have to hand feed him or her, or put a little bit of Linatone on the top. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amy Cada Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, UT Terrierists: Asta 2/3 NA, Wylie and Gryphon agility, flyball, go-to-ground, and ratting freak-a-zoids geriatric ferrets: Foster, Farris, Zowie, Hobbes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Posted in FML issue 1886]
