Hi Briannikitenn
More information about the ferret would be helpful. How old is she? Is her =
behavior normal? Is she energetic and active? Does she seem to be urinating=
and defecating without problem? Is she getting dehydrated? Were their livi=
ng conditions good in their previous home, or were they rescued from an abu=
sive situation? Has their food changed since you adopted them?
It's possible that she has lost her appetite because she is simply stressed=
from changing homes. Do whatever you can to ease the transition for her- l=
ike establishing a routine, minimizing unfamiliar loud noises (eg. barking =
dogs, fireworks), gradually introducing her to the play areas of your home.=
Holding her gently while she lick Ferretone from your hand will help her b=
ond with you.
Ferrets tend to imprint on foods they were given as kits. They will often =
refuse to eat new foods, even when hungry. My ferret Vanilla was unwilling =
to try anything other than Totally Ferret and would go on a hunger strike i=
f I had to substitute anything else. There were very few things she'd accep=
t as treat too. =
You could try tempting her appetite with Gerbers chicken baby food. Warming=
it slightly helps to make it more fragrant and it probably taste better. J=
ust be extremely careful to test the temperature before giving it to the fe=
rret. You could try spoon feeding her, and if she won't lick at it readily,=
it might help to gently wipe a little on her lips.
Hope this helps!
Tracy
