Good point, USA milk is much lower in fat, and it is hard
to find whole milk that still has that fat on top- if not
impossible, unless you are near a farm.
I think if need to suppliment a diet in a kit, you need
one of those milk replacers made for kittens,
and mush up some kibble, warm a little and the kit
should do well. While the kit is young and impressionable,
I would also start giving some other foods, like different
meats,
and so on so the kit will accept a variety of foods.
Foods that are good for the kit, like ferret kibble of
different
kinds, and meat, carcass if available, diffent meats like
chicken,
rabbit, etc.

Hi Sukie, you do ask technical questions, I think our
standard milk is a round 10% fat 20% if you only use the
creamy bit at the top, I would also be adding raw egg but It
is difficult giving advice when you cannot see how the kits
stomach reacts to the food. Even bread and milk sops is
better than nothing and once you get them eating the sops
you can liquidise other food and add to the milk. Chris.
