My ferrets have hated it, too. Actually it is funny because as a kid, I
remember liking it! And, yes, I think it's usually bubble gum flavored. Maybe
sometimes it's banana flavored and that's why some ferrets like it? I always
had to force feed amoxicillin, or mix it with something else to get them to take
it happily.

Generally my ferret patients will take the bubble-gum flavored amoxicillin
very happily, and will violently reject the banana flavor.

I'd say that less than ten percent have disliked the amixidrops. Clavamox is
another story - they all seem to hate that.
