I am curious about what is safe to feed to a recovering ferret. For instance: I read here that people are feeding their ferrets Ensure and baby food to put weight on their pets. I'd like to assume that if this were dangerous there would be a secondary posting. I didn't find one but I don't like to take chances, so here goes...Can a ferret properly digest human foods like Ensure and baby food? Also - what about kitten milk that is sold in pet stores and products like Pedialyte?

Thank you,
