Very likely it's "Uncle Jim's Duck Soup Mix" put out by Marshalls... It's
a powder that is mixed with water to make a soup, or people will sometimes
sprinkle it onto kibble. Someone gave me some and my guys wouldn't touch
it, but they're hard core Bob C's chicken gravy addicts. A friend of mine
has one that loves the Uncle Jim's but won't touch chicken gravy. Bah!
Weasels and their tastebuds. Anyway, I took the following ingredients
list off of ferretstore.com:
