As for 'human' foods, fresh meat is really the only thing she will benefit from.
All mine have several meals of boiled chicken (including skin)each week. I omit the bones in the 'cooked' chicken.
I also have 2 youngsters and a 3 year old jill that eat raw chicken wings (bones included) a few times each week. I'm not suggesting anyone feed 'raw' as it is something that each person needs to decide for themselves - took me 4 years and lots of asking of questions before I felt brave enough to feed it.
All mine eat dry ferret food and good quality kitten food daily as well....
Also they have raw egg about once a month, and the occasional meal of tinned tuna steak in oil (most of the oil drained first).
