I think you are missing the point of feeding the baby food. It is
recommended for ferrets who are ill, have stomach problems,
following surgery, etc. It is bland and easy to digest. No one has
ever suggested (to my knowledge) it be fed as a regular diet, or
even for long term. The Chicken Gravy is more of an "every day"
food and those who feed it do so once or more a day usually.

The two foods are for totally different purposes.
