Tracy,

Try letting her lick the baby food from your finger, for some reason food tastes better to them when we do that :) I have a ferret that wouldn't eat anything but ferret food and he has insulinoma now, so I have to put his pediapred in something and the first time I offered the baby food mixed with his meds, he turned his nose up until I offered it on my finger. Now he waits for me to bring him his little dish with the baby food in it twice a day and laps the whole thing up with no problem!

Good luck, Vivian
