I don't know, but that doesn't sound like a very palatable or healthy mixture. I would
stick with the plain duck soup or baby food with a ribbon of Nutrical. Ferret's don't
take vegetable products like soy and cranberry juice very well, except maybe as a
small treat (and with my experiences with diet and insulinoma I wouldn't even do
that). Most ferrets balk at eating things they're not used to, but they eventually give
in and even start to like the things you give them. You have to be persistent.

Talk to your vet tomorrow about this diet. I hope things go well for your little girl.
