All of my ferrets have wanted to be hand-fed and
babied when they are sick. I can usually get them to
eat fairly well if I feed them by hand, otherwise they
will eat little or nothing if I just leave food out.
Once they start feeling better, mine will usually go
back to eating their dry food. Sometimes it takes a
few days before they go back to their old routine
completely, but they do go back though. At least
that's been my experience.
