I usually recommend 2-3 times daily supplementation with duck soup
or chicken baby food (though my ferrets prefer turkey). My duck soup
recipe for insulinoma is:
1 cup crushed ferret food (I use Totally Ferret)
1 cup heavy cream
1 can a/d
1 jar chicken baby food
1 inch ferretvite
Mix in the blender, store frozen in ice cube trays.
