hello my names is vanessa and i saw your receipe, pleas tell me what missing
link, deliver or dyne are. My furkids are fine but i try to keep many duck
soup reciepes on hand just in case, some i have tried and my ferrets dont
like them so i have been trying to make one now that they will like in case
they ever do need it. Dawn my 7 mths old ate a spider and i have found one
that she will eat but the others dont care for it. ( she is fine i took her
to the vet they removed the spider a black widow i saw her eat it and rushed
her right in) my house has been extermanited since. please help me with this
i have five ferrets and they are my babys i like to be ready for anything,
and your receipe seems to have really helped these blessed animals.
