A quick experiment shows that both my ferrets like Marmite (meaty-flavoured yeast
extract) dissolved in warm water. It's a good source of B vitamins and might tempt
an off-colour ferret to take a little extra fluid too.

Just a thought...

[Moderator's Note: Check it, though, because some types of yeast such as Brewers
Yeast have high levels of chromium which reduces blood glucose levels so while
chromium is useful fro diabetes it is counterindicated if the ferret has insulinoma or
is borderline for it.]
