I thought so. This advice came from a vet-tech, so I was eager to double check.

I found these two links when I was reading about ECE earlier this week, in one of your (wonderful!) posts. It mentions the gerber 2nd stage chicken, which is what I've been using (smells horrible).

Anyone ever try the Gerber hot dogs that come in baby jars? I looked at the ingredients and milk was listed, so I decided against it. How do ferrets deal with small portions of milk?

Thanks,
