I've tried ferret soup before and had some success with it, I'd like to put
some fat on my eight year old, what do people suggest?

I have had really good luck with water or salt free chicken broth softened
Totally ferret, mushed with canola oil, powdered antioxidants I get from the
vet, and vanilla ensure mixed to a thick soupy texture. I have been worried
that Tasha and Toby should get enough vitamins due to possible adrenal
issues is Tasha and back problems in Toby. They are both getting rather
chubby and they love the flavor. They have ensure with extra fat or
protein. I think I found the mixture on the ferret central Faq list if I
recall. The only reason I picked vanilla was due to potential issues with
animals and chocolate. I have been feeding this for a couple of months and
their stools remain normal.
