Without a doubt, Bob Church's Chicken Gravy is about the best thing you
could give her. We've used it whenever we've had a ferret lose weight
or when one is sick and not eating normal amounts of regular kibble.
Most ferts develop a taste for it very quickly. If you use Pam Sessoms'
pressure cooker method it really isn't that bad to make.
The net result is that you are feeding your fert ground up whole cooked
chicken supplemented with other things that are good for putting weight
on her, such as Nutrical and Ferretone.

This gravy is officially endorsed by Pertwee, who slurps it by the
bowlful and is putting on weight nicely right now after a mystery
ailment.
All the best,
