Subject: Re: Feeding Bubba
If Bubba will eat the baby food without complaint, then by all means
that it what I would feed him. My ferret will not eat either A/D or
baby food, they make him heave like he is going to throw up. He eats
baby cereal, pedialyte, ground kibble, ensure, and nutrical...with a
little ferretone for flavor. I have been told that feeding baby food
for a short while is OK, maybe not the best diet but better than
having to force feed him every meal. Good Luck, Erica and the ferret
threesome
