My little girl, Sonic, is not doing well on Marshall's Ferret Diet. She's only gained 6 ounces in the past 2 months (age 2 months-4 months), while her brother (same age) gained over a pound in that time period. The vet is concerned, he told me to suppliment her diet other high protein people food. I've been feeding her Gerber baby food - turkey and gravy - every night, and she seems to be doing better on it. He also recommended eggs but she won't eat those.
What other ferret foods are high protein and good for growing ferrets? Also, what other people foods can I use to supplement her diet? I asked about ferret calorie-supplements but he seems to think they would just give her diarrhea.
