<<You can always supplement the Melatonin by buying 3 mg capsules of it (it is
a cheap medicine) and after opening the cap you can divide it into three one
mg piles. I mix a small amount of Nutrical or Ferretone with each pile and
your ferret will happily lick it off your finger or out of a spoon.>>
After a few days of fighting with the tablets, I was able to find liquid
melatonin at GNC. It comes as 2.5 mg/ml (1 mg/0.4 ml), 60 ml bottle for about $8,
and cherry vanilla flavored so that my ferret takes it willingly from the
syringe.
