Like life, we never know what awaits our ferrets in the future. You may want to spend a few minutes now, in order to make things easier later. Most ferrets are finicky eaters. They find a food they like and its tough trying to get them to change. If you are ever unfortunate enough to have to start giving your ferrets medications, you will be thankful you took some time to get your ferret used to eating something other than dry ferret food. Ferrets will eat other 'stuff' if you are persistent about it over a period of a few weeks . Something as simple as Heinz Chicken Broth babyfood for example. It smells pretty bad (to us) but ferrets will eat it as a treat if you warm it up and water it down. It is an excellent 'vehicle' to distribute unpleasant tasting drugs too. In case you are wondering, we now have 3 of our 4 ferrets eating this stuff and its not just to get them used to its taste. [Posted in FML issue 2246]
