One note on Glucerna - it can cause severe diarrhea in some ferrets.
It contains sorbitol.
I have used Glucerna without problems, but I know several people that
have tried it and have encountered problems. So, if your ferret
developes diarrhea after using Glucerna, try stopping and going to
something else.
