The two ferrets I've had on pink amoxi absolutely HATED it! I'd end up
with pink spots all over my clothes from them spitting it back at me.

All of mine have *loved* cod liver oil (it's one of the ingredients in
ferretone too)... But one girl, who was on Flagyl compounded in cod
liver oil for a while, will not touch anything that smells of CLO
anymore. When it's offered, she makes a funny squeaking noise, and
then backs away, rubbing her face on the floor.
So not only is 'favorite flavor' a very individual thing among
ferrets, but what was once a favorite can become 'the enemy' if they
learn to associate it with something unpleasant. Certainly makes
medicating more of a hassle. ;-)
