I crushed the kibble into small pieces, then added water until it was alomost the consistency of soup. Then I gradually added less water so that it was just mushy until he was ready to eat his dry kibble again. I don't know if this would work for you but Whiskey would only eat the kibble if it was as soft as the baby food. Hope this helps!

> What is the best way to wean your ferret off of Gerber's Chicken baby food? I've started crushing up his regular kibble and adding it to the baby food. Kodo is very reluctant to eat this and I basically have to hold him before he will eat it. I've tried dipping the kibble in the baby food, but he just takes it off under the bed and licks the baby food off of it. What is the quickest and most effective way I can wean Kodo off of the baby food? I'm having to come home everyday for lunch to feed him and this is very hard to do when you only have 45 minutes for lunch.
